Come create with Morbid Anatomy Founder and Creative Director Joanna Ebenstein!
This intimate studio, limited to only 10 students, is designed for those who wish to take a deep dive into morbid making. It will provide an opportunity to develop (and, if you wish, complete!) a death, mourning, mortality, or memento-mori-themed project over an eight-week discussion and critique-based workshop with a group of like-minded creatives and makers.
Students are welcome to work in any medium they wish—from visual art to writing to puppetry to music to film, or anything else you can imagine.
This loosely structured class is built around the themes that organically emerge from student work and inquiries. Based on this, the instructor will suggest readings and other media, and share artworks meant to inspire and expand ideas.
Opportunities will be available each week to show and discuss works in progress, allowing students to workshop their ideas drawing on the insights and comments of the Morbid Anatomy Community and the instructor.
Joanna Ebenstein is a Mexico-based artist, writer, curator, photographer and graphic designer. She is the founder and creative director of Morbid Anatomy. Her books includeMemento Mori: The Art of Contemplating Death to Live a Better Life, Anatomica: The Exquisite and Unsettling Art of Human AnatomyandDeath: A Graveside Companion. You can watch her Tedx Talk—Death as You've Never Seen it Before—here.
