June 24 "Empathy and The Other"
As artists, we are compelled to render the world and its diverse realities. The Other is any person or place unknown to us. And empathy is our human faculty to reach outside of the self and understand The Other. Both are wellsprings, elemental to great art.
Where does empathy come from? Can it be developed? How do artists truly represent what lies outside their own background or culture?
In this workshop, we will fuel a discussion of empathy and The Other using examples from photography, painting, and literature. Participants are welcome and encouraged to bring their own examples - from any medium-that resnate with this topic. We will also follow a writing prompt that exercises our ability to empathize.
