The Assembled #Self #Artist Call-Out #Sydney #genotyping #identity #geekgirl
Expressions of Interest for participation due Monday 3 September 2012 The Assembled Self is a project about the experience of genotyping (genetic testing) and how this affects an individual’s sense of self. It is driven by our interest in how genetic testing alters the narratives through which people anchor their own, their families, and their communities’ identities. The project involves a collaboration of researchers and artists conducting a creative research project where artists produce new works (phase 1) to be presented to generate public conversations around genetic testing and identity (phase 2). The Assembled Self is holding a research development workshop on Saturday 22nd September to think through these ideas and find artist collaborators.
Subject to a successful funding application, 8 artist collaborators will be provided with financial and logistical support for their artistic contribution to The Assembled Self.Â
This project is conducted by Centre for Values, Ethics and the Law in Medicine, University of Sydney and School of the Arts and Media, University of New South Wales. It is supported by Australia Council for the Arts and PerformanceSpace.
