Tatyana Fazlalizadeh "Stop Telling Women To Smile " in dialogue with Emily Bianconi.

Workshop with Ilaria Margutti on communal engagement canva

The artist has often expressed her research through participatory and relational paths concerning the relationship between human beings and nature, which materialized in a work on a large canvas on which participants were called to embroider natural shapes inspired by lichens.

Erasmus+ project

1. Experiment with a simple yet effective printing techni- que without a press to create monotypes of wild herbs and leaves typical of the landsca- pe of the Tiber valley.

2. Cyanotype technique using ice and light-sensitive paper to reflect on the speed at which our poles are rapidly losing immense quantities of their invaluable heritage.

Erasmus+ project

Tatyana Fazlalizadeh was the protagonist of the event with Everyday Democracy at CasermArcheologica.

Fruits of Conviviality

Taking inspiration from Ivan Illich, Fruits of Conviviality investigates histories and modes of conviviality through workshops, installations and archival material. The exhibition aims to demonstrate the powerful role connection plays in generating freedoms for both the personal and interpersonal: conviviality can and must be utilised as a form of resistance. Whether an end goal itself or to be employed as a process to achieve another outcome, conviviality is essential in combating the crisis of division. The exhibition is an exploration of the fruits of convivial practices, examining what these tools look like within various contexts and how communities organise to mobilise them. How communities have achieved greater freedoms by bestowing people with the ability to acquire and utilise skills with which they can live, shape according to their own tastes, and put to use in caring for and about others.

Shifting the Margins

A series of workshops for students and recent graduates with an overarching focus on imagining futures in and beyond decentralised art education and institutions.

Join us for a full day lined up with workshops, performance, ranging from arts funding by Gourd Canteen, navigating alternative education and institutions by School of the Damned, and experimental participatory movement workshops, held at Goldsmiths. We will also be joined by artist/educator/curator Raju Rage to screen Unarchiving Genealogies of Black Britain and discuss their practice.

How do we cope with an ecosystem of career segregation and forced competition, and what does it mean to question them? Hosted by a collective of students from multiple disciplines and practices, Shifting the Margins attempts to collate alternative experiences of experiencing art school, in order to help artists navigate often tricky and underdiscussed aspects of graduate and undergraduate life. We are informed by our shared experiences, as well as through an expanding collection of stories we hope to share with more of you.

Golden Ephemera

Curators: Emily M Bianconi and Luca Venerus

London , England 2022 @ Goldsmith University

"How do you record what disappears? How do you perceive time, the present, and liveness, through photography or through other mediums? A golden moment, a burning present: ephemera.
The multifunctional event will present to the public the recent works of the Photography Society members committee on the theme “Ephemeral” which discovers the expression and meaning of the Greek word “Ephemera” as a temporary momentum.

It will include ideas relating to the themes of memory, function, perception, and transformationin times of crisis. Dealing with questions of temporality, action, and process, the multimedia exhibition will reveal different artistic voices from diverse backgrounds.

It will include photography as well as performances, conceptual artworks, sound and video projections, open mics and talks."
