Ann Pegelow Kaplan & Josephine Turalba
Saturday, November 07 - 3:00PM to 3:55PM
Clemson One Building
This collaborative one-hour presentation will tell the story of how Josephine Turalba brought Ann Pegelow Kaplan to the Philippines, to be the first visiting faculty member at Philippines Women’s University, the oldest women’s institution of higher education in Asia. The two met during an artist residency at the Vermont Studio Center, when Kaplan offered to help Turalba make photographs of an outdoor performance during the frigid Vermont winter. In the remaining weeks, Josephine and Ann spoke frequently about the nature of a post-colonial artistic practice, curriculum development, and how the two might be related. After the residency, their discussions continued and grew until they arrived at the idea of the exchange.
Along with telling this colorful story from multiple perspectives, this session will offer a pragmatic approach to making the most of such international opportunities for collaboration, a frank discussion of challenges and ideas of how to move past them, how collaboration often works differently from but may intersect in artistic work versus curriculum development, and best practices for not just brainstorming but actually doing.
