Workshop Strand 1 : Stow Studio Space

Speaking in Tongues: Do it, Show it, Say it

Friday June 9th, 2023 : 15:30 – 16:30
Overview

This workshop explores tacit learning approaches of the participants to draft a glossary. It examines our implicit approaches to compile an open document, a shared lexicon.
Through discussion and practical engagement, we ask: How can we share language and give students access to cultural and academic power? How can we provide an opportunity leading to fluency?
Our workshop expands our ‘lab’ based culture at Sunderland, acting as a unifying force through different ways of speaking. Is the lab the place where unknowing is a good starting point?  We acknowledge the different kinds of language developed in the lab setting, particularly the tacit language of art making which is often implicit.
