Remaking the Real

This May, the Brown Arts Initiative (BAI) awarded Scandalous Conduct a Community Development Grant along with 9 other Rhode Island artists. The grant is in support of project development for inclusion in the first year of programming for Remaking the Real, BAI’s three-year theme launching in September 2020.

Remaking the Real is a series of programs considering the ways in which artists, media-makers, and art and media theorists engage with the real - envisioning, re-envisioning, and aesthetically remaking images and narratives of reality so as to bring new possibilities into existence.  Programming will address subjects as diverse as imagining and re-imagining "real stories" in the creative space of documentary practice; mapping and shaping the both persistent and changing realities of marginalized cultures; artistic connections and corrections to historical records and archives; constructing personae as strategies of artistic, authorial, and performative creation; finding "the real" in mixed, "virtual," and immersive realities; and engaging with the fantastical, the dreamlike, the "unreal".

We are extremely honored to be part of this program as well as a member of an incredibly talented cohort.
