contemporary art workshops

​Since 2014, Anna Ádám holds regularly workshops, trainings, experimental JAM sessions for both teens and adults, to develop new ideas, forms, and personal aesthetics. At the beginning of each class, through joint analysis of historic and contemporary examples, participants approach different discourses connected to the topic. Building on these discussions as well as on selected readings, creative exercises and tasks, participants are guided to explore various approaches and elaborate thematic performances, texts, images and objects. With embracing multiple media, participants are invited to challenge artistic conventions and traditional canons, propose new forms, aesthetics, alternative, experimental solutions in order to defy norms, undermine tropes, express criticism of structural and ideological concerns.

ARTS-BASED BUSINESS WORKSHOP

Corporate arts-based learning is an interdisciplinary approach using arts as a tool to explore business topics, such as leadership, change, and innovation. The goal of arts-based learning is to create immersive learning experiences via solution focused and action-oriented artistic processes, to help people gain new insights and perspectives.

​Via training, corporate retreats, workshops and coaching, art-based learning can be used to enhance: 
  • Creativity, innovation
  • Design thinking
  • Collaboration and teamwork
  • Idea-generation and problem-solving
  • Role-playing and improving communications
  • Cultural exchange

Workshops can also deal with:
  • sexism
  • generation gaps
  • employment discrimination (religion, age, sexual orientation, and gender identity...)
  • workplace harassment
