Filmmaker Cao Guimarães holds a video art workshop at the CCVM

03 to 07 October 2023
from 14:00 to 18:00

The filmmaker and visual artist Cao Guimarães will teach, from October 3 to 7, the workshop “Seeing is a fable” at the Vale Maranhão Cultural Center. The classes are aimed at visual artists, video artists, filmmakers, photographers, musicians, curators, and students from any artistic field.

The workshop proposes to promote video art production in São Luís, approaching artistic creation as a game between the gaze and the relationship between the body and what is observed in everyday life. Different ways of seeing, observing and contemplating will be studied; the microdramas of form; the exploration of the five senses and synesthesia; the development of intuition; collaborative construction; and the relationship between control and lack of control in artistic doing.

Classes will take place in the afternoon, from 14:00 to 18:00. There are 30 places available and registrations can be made through the link on the side. The Vale Maranhão Cultural Center is located at Rua Direita, 149, in the Historic Center of São Luís.
