This short video by artist Jenny Perlin was made during Rosalind Nashashibi’s workshop (July 2022) at the third edition of the Institute of Artistic Practices (JAI), organised by CICC Tabakalera and Artium Museoa. Nashashibi’s participation at JAI was marked by the experimental and collective approach to painting as a mode of being and becoming. As Perlin states: “We brought in art, we brought in music, we talked, we painted.”

Jenny Perlin is a New York-based artist who makes films, videos, installations, and drawings.

She is the director of the Hoosac Institute, “a curated platform for text and image focusing on pieces that don’t fit conventional disciplinary narratives”.
