Artist Workshop with artist Shona Macnaughton

Shona is an artist interested in the commercial image and its representation of property, architecture and domesticity. Using text, performance and animation her recent works have touched upon economics, politics, post-human feminism, and how technology shapes our relations.  For this session attendees will be invited to participate in the making of a site based group performance work.
