HOW TO RAISE A GHOST: MEMENTO MORI AS CONTEMPORARY PRAXIS III
FINAL PResentations and a round table WITH MIA VAN LEEUWEN
DESCRIPTIONS
Ways into WITTGENSTEIN
with Michael Bowdidge
“Don't apologise for anything, don't obscure anything, look and tell how it really is - but you must see something that sheds a new light on the facts”
- Wittgenstein, 1998, p.45
This one-day workshop serves a dual purpose. It is designed to offer an overview of the content and perhaps somewhat unexpected potential utility of Ludwig Wittgenstein’s writing and thinking for practice-based researchers, and also to explore more broadly how we engage with and integrate the work of thinkers, theorists and other contextual sources into our research.
We’ll achieve these ends through class presentations and discussions that draw upon ‘real world’ practice-based engagements with the thought of Wittgenstein (and others) as well through some short practical exercises and thought experiments that will explore our existing and potential relationships with the other thinkers and makers who inform and inflect our research.

How to Raise a Ghost: Memento Mori as Contemporary Praxis Part III
Working Group facilitated by Mia Van Leeuwen
During the third and final part of this working group, students will present sketches of assignment work followed by a round table response to the presentations.
Death studies is a burgeoning area of scholarly and artistic inquiry emerging through the fields of queer death studies, death themed art residencies, symposia and other online events dedicated to death. Various death positive and death awareness raising individuals, movements and centres can be found throughout the world, marked by a surge of communities who demystify the process through social, artistic, and educational gatherings. The topic feels all the more urgent in our current pandemic and provides a heightened space to bring together a multitude of insights and perspectives on death, dying and grief.
How to Raise a Ghost is a research-creation mode of inquiry that is participating in this significant artistic and cultural movement to face death through art. This excavation is rooted in the ancient practice of memento mori (Latin for remember you must die) and reimagined through an art-now praxis.

A talk
with Tracey Benson
In this presentation Tracey will discuss a number of recent projects by exploring themes of deep listening, connecting to place, climate change and impacts of COVID-19. How art, wellbeing and environmental awareness connect in practical ways that are restorative, collaborative and ethical are key issues which will be addressed in this presentation. Video, photography, audio, augmented reality and walking are all aspects that are featured in the projects discussed, as well as mapping and locative media.
