About the Event
Do you sometimes get flustered when someone asks you about your art practice? Do you get nervous about being asked to speak on demand about your work—be it for a large audience at an event or a one-on-one conversation in your studio?
You don’t need to be a wordsmith but finding the language and practicing talking about your art or even ideas behind your work can propel and even help define an artist’s career. In this professional development workshop, artist Hiba Abdallah will walk us through the essentials of what goes into a meaningful artist talk and how to better structure our ideas.

Her recent exhibitions and public projects include 100 years then and hereafter at the Visual Arts Centre of Clarington, Everything I Wanted to Tell You for Nuit Blanche Scarborough, Rehearsing Disagreement for MOCA Toronto and A List of Antagonisms for the CAFKA Biennial in Kitchener, ON.
