Workshop - The Hologram

Learn about The Hologram practice with artist Cassie Thornton.

This workshop offers those new to The Hologram practice a chance to learn about the history and reasoning behind it. What is The Hologram? What is it used for? And how can The Hologram be applied in a university context? The workshop will talk about care as revolutionary practice, and based on that discussion will practice The Hologram.

The session will be focused on the broad theme of life in the ruins, exploring strategies for practising collective care amidst difficult times. The workshop will apply The Hologram practice to understanding widespread exhaustion, grief, conflict, and difficult feelings on both an interpersonal and societal level.

The Hologram asks: what would change if we placed collective care at the center of our movements?

Spaces for this workshop are limited and LU Arts recommend booking early to avoid disappointment. LU Arts are able to offer a small number of bursaries to cover travel costs within the Midlands. To book a space for the workshop, enquire about a travel bursary, or to discuss any barriers to your attendance, please contact Radar curator Lucy Lopez at l.lopez@lboro.ac.uk with ‘Hologram Workshop’ as the subject line.

This workshop is part of Radar's programme for 2024-26, Rehearsals (for a world we could live in). The programme explores artistic practices of ‘world-building’ and ‘rehearsal’, which enact or perform more just and liveable worlds. It will commission a series of artists whose work imagines new worlds or ways of living, from more equitable healthcare systems, to climate solidarity networks, to embodied forms of justice.
