The workshop is for all those who are interested in observing people and the world around them, want to try to describe the world in the language of painting, or simply want to explore a local market together. The workshop was guided by an artist-researcher from NOVA University Lisbon. You do not need to know how to draw to still be able to join the program.
Description of the proposal: Following the experience of field work as an artist and art anthropologist using collaborative drawing as a method of research, I propose a program that will allow artists and researchers to use drawing as an immersive tool as well as a form of constituting multiple relations. Artists and social researchers share the quality of being inquisitive observers while drawing is a form of attentive observation of the world. Art anthropology in the turn of the century proposes an alliance, a crossing of borders, looking for affinities between the two disciplines and shared practice of representation of others, promoting encounters between artists and researchers and instigating objects of knowledge.
Drawing allows us to keep moments that can rarely be mentioned or measured. It can be a form to connect the experience of observation and description or a discovery of an event. While the power of the sketchbook is its internal logic and variety of material registered, the shared graphic diary can allow us a pursue of relational texture.
Output: Having the Hom Market, in Hanoi, as a chosen field of observation, the proposal includes exercises of observation using drawing as a tool for analysis and depiction of reality. We will pay attention to the relationship between people and objects, the objects materiality and its pathways, kinship and technical practices. We will also focus on how space is used by the people and how the market and its surroundings relate to the city. The collaborative drawing will allow to challenge each participant’s own perception as a form of reflection on participation and representation in art and research.
