Power Dynamics: Exploring Daily Practices of Creative Actions for Equity

• Facilitated by Porchia Moore

• Two separate one-hour workshops: limited spaces available.

• Register here:

  • 4:05pm

  • 5:10pm

This workshop is designed to explore strategies of conscientiously engaging acts of social justice as part of everyday life. It is through daily practice in our mundane interactions that we can build habits that can impact cultural change. Everyone is responsible for doing their part in the vital work of the struggle for progress. We cannot leave it up to someone else. We can all contribute through simple,  but not necessarily easy, actions in our private and public interactions.

For accessibility questions or concerns, please email mbeitiks@arts.ufl.edu.

BIO

Multidisciplinary artist Fatimah Tuggar was born in Nigeria and raised there and in the United Kingdom. She has studied, lived, and worked in the US since the late ’80s. Her work uses technology as both medium and subject to serve as metaphors for power dynamics. She combines objects, images, and sounds from diverse cultures, geographies, and histories to comment on how media and technology diversely impact local and global realities. Tuggar’s work has been widely exhibited at international venues in over twenty-five countries on five continents including the Museum of Modern Art, New York, US; Museum Kunst-Palast, Dusseldorf, Germany; Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris, France; the 24th Biennial of Graphic Arts, Ljubljana, Slovenia; Moscow Biennale in Russia; the V Salon CANTV Jovenes, Venezuela, the Istanbul Biennial, Turkey; the Kwangju Biennale, South Korea; Bamako Biennale, Mali; and the 2nd Johannesburg Biennale, South Africa.
