The Language of Making Overview
This workshop explores the ways we communicate through our work, in conversation, and in writing. It is be based on collective dialogue grounded by presentations and written exercises. The focus is on questioning and strengthening the connections between who we are and what we do through mindful recognition and critical conversations. Aim at developing strategies to articulate intent in a way that is open and generative while examining the roles intuition, experience, personal history, contemporary issues, and acquired knowledge play in process.
