Welcoming Our Fall Visiting Artist Adrienne Hayden!
Adrienne Hayden is an analog photographer and aspiring filmmaker interested in connection, entanglement, psychogeography, and identity. As a multidisciplinary artist her work focuses on both still and moving images, and incorporating archival footage and found images into her practice. Originally from the Metropolitan Detroit area, but currently based in Copenhagen Denmark, Adrienne is a self taught photographer and filmmaker who has been practicing photography for over eight years and experimenting with film for the past two.
For the next three weeks Adrienne will be teaching a workshop called “Memories of a Place”. Discover archives to use as a medium in experimental film for self expression. This workshop offers an understanding of curation and working with archival and found footage as a method for artistic investigation.
Desert Writing Lab Workshop
November 16, 2024
Bulk Space Media Lab 2857 E. Grand Blvd
Unit 101, Detroit, MI 48203
In this generative workshop, participants will get to try out methods from the Desert Writing Lab, an interdisciplinary and experimental writing workshop to come together and write in the midst of the climate catastrophe.
Participants spend time freewriting on one of the core Desert Writing Lab prompts, exploring what data a place has about us. We’ll talk about maps, and their possibilities, how they can be a guide to a place, a story about data, and think of abstract and literal examples of maps. Participants can create their own maps–with emotional, narrative, theoretical, and physical landmarks. We’ll spend some time sharing our creations and process the map-making experience and its connections to how we experience climate catastrophe.
Desert Writing Lab is led by Halime Salah, Zahra Hassan, and Miriam Saperstein.
Halima Salah (she/her): I am a Somali-Canadian Civil Engineering PhD candidate based in Michigan. In 2022/2023, I served as the Ralph Cicerone Fellow in Earth System Science Modeling at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) in the Atmospheric Chemistry Observations and Modeling (ACOM) lab. Recently, I was a graduate fellow at the United Nations Regional Centre of Expertise (RCE) on Education for Sustainable Development in the Detroit-Windsor region. My research primarily revolves around emissions inventories and air quality. I also enjoy creating zines and comics.
Zahra Hassan (they/them) is an interdisciplinary Fulbright researcher, writer, and educator from Vienna with roots in Iraq. With a background in journalism, media, and gender justice, they are dedicated to bridging disciplines with an emphasis on the intersection of feminist techno-science, environmental studies, and creative practice. Throughout their Master’s at NYU’s Experimental Humanities and Social Engagement program, their work has been revolving around Iraqi orange trees and what it means to tap into their senses when conducting research. They are currently finishing their debut speculative fiction novel centering on environmental disaster, meditating on deserts as indicative of what is to come for the entire planet when more landscapes will become desertified. Their practice includes using Sci-Fi to imagine a future where the entire planet will be under the duress that Iraq is in today, and attempting to build a different lens on landscapes that are perceived as ruins.
Miriam Saperstein (they/them) is a writer and visual artist. Investigating relationships between Jewish ritual and Empire, their work is frequented by rivers, rebbetzins, demons and their exorcists, as well as dreams of the World to Come. As an educator, Miriam supports learning communities in developing practical skills for integrating ritual and art-making into their research, as well as supporting the collaborative work of shaping and transmitting liberatory cultural narratives. Miriam has received support from the Sachs Program for Arts Innovation and the Hopwoods Program at the University of Michigan. Their writing appears in publications such as Syllabus, BathHouse, and Jewish Currents. Originally from Metro Detroit, Miriam lives in Philadelphia.
