AAST 066 - Intro: Circling Back, Building Story

HC ARHU CD

2 credits
The Site and Community of Oberlin exists as an intersection of living histories. The boundaries of this town are linked to ongoing histories of refuge, resistance, struggle, and imagination of possible futures: ideas that intentionally embrace and actively construct an existence in which all people experience the fullness of Being uninterrupted. Within this class, each student enrolled will work throughout the course to compose one intentional gesture that articulates a story resonant with a history embedded within this specific place. Our process will be interdisciplinary, and may span written/spoken word, performance, assemblage, and/or any components of photography, drawing, or painting.
