Disappearance Landscape is a virtual workshop designed and facilitated by artist Maria Gaspar that uses the body to interrogate and intervene in highly contested sites. Using green screen strategies, participants will examine jails, prisons, border walls, conflict zones, and other places of power in order to mediate, flip, dissect, transpose, or dismantle forms of oppression and confinement. The Henry Art Gallery will be mailing free kits to workshop registrants, that include paper and adhesive, to construct a greenscreen background for the participatory workshop.

*This program will be held via Zoom.* Animals play significant roles in our lives as companions, food sources, agricultural workers, and dangers in the wilds around us. How do we relate to animals, and how do they relate to us? How do artists interrogate these relationships in their practice, and how has animal imagery been used to explore larger questions?
