We can only fight a war if we imagine an enemy who is confronting us. In this workshop we will explore ways of responding to images of the enemy that draw upon our creative resources and enable us to go beyond hatred and fear. Ultimately, as James Hillman reminds us, only “aesthetic passion” can be a match for our “terrible love of war.”
We will employ photography, visual art, writing, movement and music to help us find our capacity for aesthetic responsibility: the ability to respond to the terrifying situation of our times through our senses and through the artistic disciplines based upon them. Throughout the day, we will work creatively with images of those who have been presented as our enemies in order to move beyond terror to social change.
