PRAKSIS Development Forum (PDF) is a monthly peer-discussion group for creative people. It provides a friendly, informal hub for a diversity of practitioners to meet, share and discuss works-in-progress.
PDF session 27 will be held in collaboration with Kunstnerforbundet for a festive edition of our peer support group. We will start the session with a walk around tour of the annual Christmas Show before heading to the top floor to discuss work in progress and enjoy a cup of glug.
PDF is free to join and held in English (due to its transnational setting).

PDF Structure
Each participant has around 15 minutes to share their current artistic activity. PDF’s focus is on works and ideas in progress, so please do not present finished works or projects. Projects in development can be shared in a number of ways, for example; showing physical works, slideshows, readings, performances, or any means which suitably communicate ideas. A projector and laptop is available for the group to use throughout the session. PDF encourages variety and experimentation, so please get in touch if you have any questions or requirements.
