Opening Conversation: Situating Residency and Responding to Pablo’s Metaphor

The Concordia professors Mark Sussman (Theatre), Luis Sotelo Castro (Theatre/Oral History), Louis Patrick Leroux (English & Eudes françaises) and Bonnie Harnden (Creative Arts Therapies) hosting our guest artist and scholar in their classrooms and workshops will engage with Pablo Gershanik, following up on emerging topics from the previous day’s keynote address and thinking forward to the week’s activities and some of the topics they hope to explore.

This event is part of Pablo Gershanik's virtual residency at Concordia University, presenting his artistic work on intimate models, object theatre, memory and resilience. 

This residency is made possible by the Faculty of Arts & Science, the Faculty of Fine Arts, and the Centre for Interdisciplinary Studies in Society and Culture.
