ART 017X PZ -Gender Disability& Carework

Institution: Pitzer

Description: Topics in Contemporary Sculpture: Gender, Disability, and Carework This course approaches the intersecting fields of gender and disability studies through a focus on contemporary sculptural practice. How does the medicalization of disability normalize social exclusion, and what strategies are artists using to call social norms into question and/or propose alternate models of support and belonging? How can intersectional approaches to privilege and oppression lead us away from ideologies of bootstrap individualism, and towards more relational and interdependent communities of mutual flourishing? Integrating seminar and studio work, students have the opportunity to analyze and learn from various artists, while creating three studio projects exploring casting, installation, and performance processes.
