Course
The Gesture of Collage as Practice is a hands-on studio class, in which Newsome uses his interdisciplinary practice as a way to engage students in a wide range of collaging strategies including: paper collage, video collage, sound collage, creative coding, and performance, while exploring current discourses on race, sexuality, gender, performance, and art history. Through critical thinking, visiting artist workshops, and discussions, the students will consider how applying critical thinking to contemporary art and cultural production can make for a more engaging experience for the maker and viewer.
