Weekly Gatherings and Feedback at Residency for Art Workers as Artists

On Friday August 9th, the residents of EFA Project Space's Artists as Art Workers Residency gathered for an evening of discussion and feedback. The residents took turn talking about the different projects they have all embarked on. Residents discussed different approaches to process as well as showed each other their works in progress. The weekly meetings allow for the residents to gather in a 'semi-formal' way and share concerns, ideas, critics, and inspirations. Take a look at some pictures of the residents presenting their on-going works!
