Anti-Apathy
workshop, performance
South Africa, Pretoria: But Virtual space
We will explore through member interaction the root causes behind fears, emotions, and problems in society. Allowing us to see deeper into the real afflictions and find the current societal collective subconscious or common threads in today. Architecture schools pride themselves in making people that are solution driven: How do we supply solutions to problems our clients never knew they had? Apathy is a state of indifference, or the suppression of emotions such as concern, excitement, motivation, or passion. ... An apathetic person may also exhibit insensibility or sluggishness. This interaction will focus then on how this would best be portrayed allowing the spectator to experience and evoke empathy or even sympathy. Social media makes it possible for anything to be viewed anywhere. To allow the impact of these scenarios they will be filmed faceless and raceless. The ancient form of Shadow theatre will allow for messages to exclude societal restraints, ensuring farther reach. This can then be viewed in a formal exhibition and on social media platforms.
