Conference: 4 May 2020 (The Eugeniusz Geppert Academy of Art and Design in Wrocław)
Workshops: 5-9 May 2020 (Bakery Centre for Performative Arts, Wroclaw)
This year's edition of the Light As A Creative Tool (LAACT) 2.0: The conference and workshops address light art issues in the context of media art.
LAACT 2.0 is a unique event in which, in addition to theoretical knowledge, presented in the form of a presentation at a one-day conference, we offer students also workshops, during which they work on their own idea with artists-practitioners.
The event is taking place for the second time: in 2018, 42 students and students from both Master's and PhD studies took part in workshops organised in cooperation with the Academy of Fine Arts in Gdańsk. Among our participants were students of art, technical and other schools, both from Poland and Europe: including students from the Erasmus programme.
During the LAACT workshops, participants have the opportunity not only to work in a small group with renowned artists from all over the world, creating their own artistic installations and learning practical skills in selected techniques. Our students also have the opportunity to get to know the curators, organizers and researchers involved in projects related to light and to make friends that help in their career development.
Elena Vertikova, Samira Arrami, Zuzanna Dolega and Katarzyna Piróg have been invited to several independent festivals and art projects in Germany, Tunisia and Russia after their participation in LAACT 2018. More information about the first edition can be found at https://laact.pl/.
