Art as Activism – Workshops at the Hult Center

JOJO Abot is an interdisciplinary artist who will be at the Hult Center for a week long residency culminating in two workshops, a gallery exhibition (opening Friday, Jan 4th), two immersive performances and a musical performance. The two workshops include:

This workshop will use the first immersive performance on January 22nd to provoke a dialogue with the community about important questions such as;  How does art provoke and sustain a revolution? What is the responsibility of art vs. the artists vs. the audience in creating impact towards evolution? What is the power that each participant holds? Where does art and culture serve as a tool for radical change?

This workshop will be an imaginative experience exploring conversation topics such as; Cultural Appropriation vs Cultural Appreciation, The evolution of the African identity and experience, and Africans as nonlinear time travelers.
