SUMMARY:INK AND WATER
DESCRIPTION:This workshop series for adults offers a gentle introduction to the tactile qualities of materials such as paper\, pastel\, paint\, graphite pencil\, and ink. Participants will explore the unique characteristics of various tools and surfaces\, learning simple techniques to get started and discover inspiration—whether drawn from the inner world or the world around us. The focus is on the process of making: approaching art as a meditative\, exploratory practice. Together\, we’ll experiment\, play\, and pay close attention to what unfolds on the page\, moment by moment. There are no expectations for finished pieces or specific outcomes —the class itself is the experience and the goal. Each session will close with a supportive group reflection\, where we’ll share and appreciate each other’s progress\, process\, and discoveries. \nIn this course\, students will explore and experiment with using ink and water on paper across various techniques. \nThe series can be experienced as a complete progression or as individual\, standalone classes. Participation is limited to 12 students. *Please note: this workshop is for ages 20+.* \nPurchase Tickets

SUMMARY:DOWN AND OUT IN UTOPIA WITH KELLY MCKOWEN & ELLEN CUSHING
DESCRIPTION:On January 29\, join us for a talk on Down and Out in Utopia with cultural anthropologist & ASF Fellow Kelly McKowen! With The Atlantic writer Ellen Cushing\, McKowen will discuss his research into the experiences of unemployment in social democratic welfare systems\, the topic of his forthcoming Down and Out in Utopia: Unemployment as Moral Education in Norway from University of Toronto Press. \nBased on more than a year of fieldwork among a diverse cast of unemployed in Oslo\, Down and Out in Utopia offers unparalleled insight into life without work in one of the world’s wealthiest and most egalitarian countries. Though both Norway and the United States measure unemployment rates\, McKowen argues\, the everyday experience of unemployment is very different in a society with a social democratic welfare system\, and so too are the lessons that being unemployed teaches people about government\, work\, welfare\, taxes\, freedom\, and belonging. \nRegister
