The workshop “Self-Marketing & Positioning in the Art Field” with Beatrace Oola (apya productions) is aimed at Artists in Exile and BIPOC artists. It focuses on the question of how artistic positions can be articulated in a visible and self-determined way within a field shaped by power structures. Participants will be introduced to practical strategies for self-representation, communication, and navigating institutional contexts.
For international and BIPOC artists only.
(BIPOC refers to Black, Indigenous, and People of Color.)
The workshop will be held primarily in German or English, depending on participants’ needs. Contributions in the other language are very welcome, and whispered translation will be available.
