THE ART OF PARTICIPATION at PRESCOTT COLLEGE

The Art of Participation:
Interdisciplinary Approaches to Creative Participatory Practice

Tiffany Lee Brown at Prescott College
Master of Arts Colloquium
Prescott, Arizona
Sunday, February 8, 2009

Arts, media, and literature frame and influence how we perceive our world, our society, and our potential to make positive impact. Creative participation on the Internet, in independent media, and in the arts helps build community while challenging boundaries between those who create and their audiences. Tiffany will discuss participatory practice and her work as an interdisciplinary artist, writer, and editor, and invite attendees to (optionally) engage with her current work, the Easter Island Project. See Bibliography.

MAP Humanities students may inquire with their core faculty if they are interested in working with Tiffany as a graduate advisor in areas pertaining to media, the arts, communication, writing, and community engagement. A professional writer and magazine editor, Tiffany graduated summa cum laude from the University of California with a degree in Dramatic Art/Performance Studies and received her MFA in Interdisciplinary Arts from Goddard College.
