This tutorial addresses the power of spatial storytelling and image-making in challenging controlling images, fostering joy, and navigating expulsive conditions.

As defined by African American academic Patricia Hill Collins, controlling images are produced by media and institutions and “are designed to make racism, sexism, poverty, and other forms of social injustice appear to be natural, normal, and inevitable forms of everyday life.” What role does spatial practice—in particular, spatial storytelling—play in building upon and evolving modes of being through image-making? How can joy be practiced without having or needing to center refusal? How can encryption, camouflaging, and strategic risk-shifting be used to share knowledge whilst safeguarding a sense of being in expulsive conditions?

This tutorial will explore these questions through the work of Khensani Jurczok-de Klerk and Matri-Archi(tecture), borrowing and highlighting cues and lessons offered by other practitioners in spatial disciplines and proximate fields to think about the critical practice of being between imaginary and image.

This event will be held in English. It is open to all and free of charge. Doors open at 15:30.
