    • Join us April 3-6 for our next online workshop! Explore what it means to reimagine, reconfigure and recontextualize pre-existing material at RADICAL APPROPRIATIONS: REWRITING THE ARCHIVE, now open for registration! This workshop will delve into the once radical approaches of readymades and remixes that have become the mainstream lingua franca of the information age. Led by archival producer Paul Dallas (Halston), we will explore how creative approaches blend the personal and the political, and engage a larger process of challenging received cultural and historical norms. We will examine what it means to use pre-existing material from a range of sources including private collections, public institutions, corporate networks, stock footage libraries, YouTube, and social media. The workshop features guest artists and filmmakers Alexandra Dean (Bombshell: The Hedy Lamarr Story), James N. Kienitz Wilkins (The Andre Trilogy), Sierra Pettengill (The Reagan Show), Frederic Tcheng (Dior and I; Halston) and more. This workshop is open to everyone. We are excited to confirm that we are continuing to run our workshops series, now online through video conference and limited to an intimate 15 participants. We ran our first workshop this way this past weekend and it was a huge success! Participants shared that... “Though we are in terrible COVID times, this felt like a wonderful way to kick off our months of solitude and introspective wonderings.” “This was an absolute heroic effort--getting this class online with a moment's notice during a pandemic....Thanks for making this such a rewarding experience!” Learn more and register today: https://uniondocs.org/event/radical-appropriations-rewriting-the-archive/Join us April 3-6 for our next online workshop!
