“Trekking Tradition, Broadening the Sphere”will address the influence of international travel on studio practices, and open the conversation to the potential of travel. The facilitators will focus the conversation on how learning cultural histories and crafts, bringing home newly gained knowledge, and applying it to studio investigations deepens our understanding and use of new and emerging print media. Participants can share how to uniquely apply their own histories in the crafts along with learning those of others via travel, research grants, study abroad programs, residencies, etc. to work in print. Through dialog, they will explore how a global practice enables an exchange of techniques and histories, and how visual conversations with the world shapes innovation within the field.
