In this course you will work closely with the context of the Artist Run Initiative (ARI).
You will expand your understanding of histories, contexts, critiques and possibilities mapped out by the network of ARIs in Melbourne and beyond.
Blindside has partnered with RMIT to deliver this course as a Blindside Pathways project. “Pathways program design and assessment structures offer participating students across all specialisations a cross-disciplinary experience of making art work, writing and curating at a professional level.” There is already an exhibition scheduled!

This course will be delivered by Nikki Lam, artist-curator, based in Narrm. Born in Hong Kong, Nikki’s practice deals with the complexity of migration, diaspora and subjective/collective histories, often through poetry, translation, fragmentation, destruction and re-generation.
Based in the CBD, Blindside is an artist-run initiative at the forefront of contemporary art and is a leading platform for new and critical dialogues, multidisciplinary practice and bold ideas.
