KENDAL HENRY
Public Art Workshop
(New York, USA)
The series of workshops by American curator Kendal Henry is an integral part of the Art Prospect festival. This year, it will be held for students of the Chto Delat School of Engaged Art.
The introductory lecture will explore the definition of public art and the many forms it can take. Street artists, government entities, museums, and private organizations all use public art as a tool for social engagement, civic pride, and economic development. The goal of the lecture is to inspire the audience to engage in their own public art experiences, no matter if they have a background in art.
During the series of workshops, participants will draw on the lecture to create simple but effective projects of their own. The artists will collaborate with Kendal Henry to create interactive public works exploring the festival theme, Forms of Unity.
The final projects will be exhibited as part of the main festival program on September 23–26 in the Gaza Palace of Culture.
