Resilience: Continuing Our Creative Practice in Times of Hardship
About
How might artists nurture their creative practice and careers in the face of quarantine, grief and profound change? This group is about sharing strategies and best practices for continuing your work as in artist within the constraints and challenges that we face due to Covid-19. Sidewalk Detroit is partnering with licensed Art Therapist, Shazia Siddiqi, MA, ATR-BC, LPC to facilitate work with this group. The group will explore these topics, in partnership with Shazia and our Online Artist Residency Program in the following ways:
1. Every other week we will issue a creative prompt or instructions for experiments that are geared towards healing, adaptation and continuing our work as artists.
2. In collaboration with Dr. Shazia Siddiqui we will host bi-weekly conversations via zoom with artists to discover healing methods that will enable our practice to continue in these difficult circumstances.
3. Artists are encouraged to share their experiences and strategies with other group members.
4. Artists are encouraged to join our daily movement and yoga classes, and bi-weekly artist talks through our online residency program
