<p class="x_MsoNormal"><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">Discussing, expressing and acting on issues concerning existential risk is more important than ever. One–Person Gestures is a workshop that will at once introduce the life and work of legendary
artist Gustav Metzger and actively involve students in one of the artist’s most recent proposals regarding the construction and long-term activation of spaces for social change addressing extinction from the point of view of the arts. This auto-destructive
monument, to be built in Mexico City, will pose questions regarding the environment, climate change, architecture, art, humanity, biodiversity, consciousness, natural resources, science, technology, food, sustainability, and the future, amongst other topics.</font></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><br>
</font></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">The workshop will include readings, guest lecturers, and audiovisual material that will help trigger free flowing discussions on the materials, shapes, art works, educational design, and communication
strategies to engage and attract a wider audience to the space. The ideas put forth will be turned into physical fabrications and mixed media materializations with the help of ACT’s expert media associates. The workshop calls on dynamic, engaged students
from all disciplines.</font></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif"><br>
</font></p>
<p class="x_MsoNormal"><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">Student’s creations and ideas will be displayed at a symposium on the dome(s) in December, which will bring together a multi-disciplinary group to further discuss the creation of the structures. </font></p>
