playing WITH - playing OUT
Artistic collaborators and invite visitors to engage with a series of objects and actions that encourage playful engagement with collaboration grounded in consent and with boundary development. In creating these works, they were inspired by their participation in the Anti-Violence Project鈥檚 Understanding Consent-Based Culture workshop. Using participatory art practices, they hope to stimulate thinking and dialogue about consent and how art and art spaces can be used to address pressing societal issues and difficult knowledge.

Non-identifiable photographs and videos of participants will be taken on the documentation days. As part of this research, Natasha is looking for individuals who are interested in participating in a short interview or filling in a questionnaire.
