Queer Community Building Strategies

Professor Hannes Brunner at Wiessensee Academy of Art Berlin is experienced with making work that encourages public and social engagement and environmental designs. I am hoping to learn from his expertise of making work that involves these themes. Berlin is known internationally for its thriving arts and queer communities. Conducting research in Berlin will give me the opportunity to experience various factors that will further my understanding of making work to support culture and relationships. Art making is the tool I use to contribute in fostering my relationships with various communities and Berlin offers me a balance of cultural diversity, artistic development, and the opportunity to acquire knowledge that will support my education and personal growth as a queer artist of colour. This research project is an opportunity to gain the information needed to progress with my strategies of art making and gather experiences that will inform my work.
