Author(ity) Workshop by no.w.here at Beirut Art Center

Join the Beirut Art Center as it hosts a workshop on video experimentation with Karen Mirza and Brad Butler. For a week, you will work together to intertwine experimentation with theory and practice using drawing, political theatre, video, sound and public interventions to get inside the power dynamics of images and the film apparatus in order to understand and subvert how we as artists, activists and/or filmmakers can co-author work.

Together, by exploring the city, exchanging ideas, skills and techniques and through a series of ‘games for actors and non-actors’ you’ll will build a work to be premiered at Beirut Art Center that is not a passive experience for its audience. Rather those in attendance will be offered the opportunity to become agent and active, to ‘act’ as well as observe. On May 27, there will be a presentation of the collaborative work made by the participants in the workshop open to the public.

Participation fee: 30,000 LL

Registrations must be made in advance at Beirut Art Center.
