Grounded in Pink Fang (formerly Ping Chong and Company)’s mission to create “art at the intersection of performance, community building and social change, rooted in the ethos and artistic legacy of Ping Chong,” this course will engage with generation of new work through artistic and archival explorations. Students will be immersed in Pink Fang’s interdisciplinary approach to making live performance, installation and media art, based on ruminations on personal and communal histories. Delving into Chong's archival body of work, as well as personal and historic sources, ’ students will develop new works where exploration and ancestry collide. This studio class is intended for makers, designers, and performers, will be led by Chaesong Kim, and guest appearances by Pink Fang artistic collaborators.
