PRAKSIS Development Forum (PDF) session 10 will be held at Podium. Ragnhild Aamås (Podium) will open the session with an introduction to Podium’s current interests, as well as challenges artist-run spaces face. 

Ragnhild’s presentation will offer insight into how artists create alternative institutions, and could be of particular value to creatives with socially and politically engaged practices.

Following the guest presentation, the table will open up for all participants to share their own work in progress or ideas. Each participant will have approximately 20 minutes to focus on their own artistic activity. PDF’s focus is on works and ideas in progress, so please do not present finished works or projects. Projects in development can be shared in a number of ways, for example; showing physical works, slideshows, readings, performances, or any means which suitably communicates ideas. A projector and laptop is available for the group to use throughout the session. PDF encourages variety and experimentation, so please get in touch if you have any questions or requirements. Each session is facilitated by artist Sayed Sattar Hasan and is open to individuals at all career stages.

If you are simply curious about PDF and don't necessarily want to show anything (yet), feel free to come and see what goes on.

PDF is a monthly peer support group for the creative community of Oslo which provides an informal and constructive space for artists, curators and writers to share and discuss their current practice. It is an opportunity to learn what other creatives are up to, speak about your own work and share perspectives. PDF is open to individuals at all career stages and values each participant’s contribution to the group.

Space to present at PDF is limited so please RSVP your place by emailing: office@praksisoslo.org for attention of Sayed.

PDF is free to join, and refreshments are provided.
