Border as a place is a workshop which focuses on borderlands and peripheries as manifest in built, natural, political and imagined spaces. The workshop will take place at Mizarai Practice and Recreation Centre in Lithuania, a residency belonging to the Vilnius Academy of Arts, close to the borders with Poland and Belarus. The week long workshop will bring students from across the KUNO network together where they will work in groups and individually, exploring topics that emerge from questions of what borders are and how they manifest in political realities, cultural history and in a variety of physical and intangible ways in spaces, bodies and narratives. The workshop will revolve around joint seminars, excursions and discussions with the possibility of realizing a process-focused exhibition at the end of the workshop. Students will be asked to present their work at the beginning of the workshop.
The workshop is funded under the Nordplus/KUNO framework.
