Susanne Junker, finalist and resident artist of the 2018 “German Artist in Shanghai” residency program by Goethe-Institut Shanghai and the Shanghai Institute of Design of the China Academy of Art.
15 October - 17 November 2018
Development of workshop « RESEARCHING IDENTITY » , teaching 20 local students at the Institute of Design of the China Academy of Art.
« RESEARCHING IDENTITY » is what I propose to 20 students for the next 3 weeks. Identity is an ongoing theme in my art practice and probably not a conventional subject in an academic environment, I am enthusiastically convinced that my students will enjoy to learn about their own Identity, focusing on conscious decision making and gaining empowerment while digging into themselves finding answers to firstly, so it seems, uncomfortable questions about ourselves.
