Obsah

Date and time: 4–8 November 2026 — guest lecture at STUDIO FAMU (4.11), workshop at GAMU (5.11–6.11), consolidation (7.11), presentation of the collective artwork at GAMU gallery (8.11)

The workshop, „The Man of Family,“ takes as its starting point The Family of Man, the landmark 1955 exhibition curated by Edward Steichen at MoMA, whose meaning remains highly contested — set against Roland Barthes's critique of its sentimental universalism and Ariella Aïsha Azoulay's defence of it as an invitation to human-rights reflection. Participants physically alter copies of the exhibition catalogue through collage, cut-ups and other mechanical interventions, then process the altered images through an AI platform to further abstract and reinterpret the material. Day 1: guest lecture by Adam Broomberg, followed by a conversation with Peter Watkins and audience Q&A, at STUDIO FAMU. Days 2–3: studio workshop sessions at GAMU. Day 4: consolidation of the material into a collective artwork. Day 5: presentation of the collective artwork at GAMU gallery.

Výsledky učení

Students gain practical experience with collage and appropriation strategies applied to archival photographic material; critical engagement with debates on universalism, myth and human rights in photographic representation; experience contributing to a collectively authored artwork; exposure to using AI image-processing tools within an artistic practice; and experience presenting and installing collaborative work in a gallery context at GAMU.
