Distributed workshop for creative invention and artistic collaboration within radical pandemic constraints. Students imagine, design, and explore emergent creative strategies for art-making under quarantine conditions.

By reframing sub-optimal working conditions as super-optimal, participants create a modest canon of pieces that serve as a manual for sustaining creative vibrancy during stressful periods. Weekly synchronous conversation about artistic strategies and an overview of historical artistic constraints (both necessitated and voluntarily adopted); breakout group collaborations; consultations with professor; sharing of work; mutual critique, support, and mentorship.
