FILM 243 - The Liberation Arts

Semester Offered: Spring
0.5 unit(s)

What does it really mean to be free? Does one need to learn it? If so, how? In this intensive we reimagine the liberal arts as the arts of liberation: over the course of the semester, various students, staff, faculty, and guests will introduce us to the creative practices that best serve them in their pursuit of freedom, however they choose (or refuse) to define it. In addition to participating in the workshops, students play a role in documenting, through sound, image, and text, the various perspectives and practices we encounter. This documentation culminates in a final collaborative process of weaving these audiovisual materials into a work of art that reflects upon our shared experiences and discoveries. This intensive foregrounds experiential, interdisciplinary, and non-hierarchical collaborative practices. Shane Slattery-Quintanilla.
