PRAKSIS Development Forum (PDF) is a monthly peer-discussion group for creative people. It provides a friendly, informal hub for practitioners to meet, share and discuss works-in-progress.
PRAKSIS Development Forum (PDF) session 42 – welcomes interdisciplinary artist Ina Hagen to open this month’s session who will be sharing her current research and interests.
In constructing performative situations and platforms for social thinking, Hagen merges situated histories, collaborative and participatory acts in situations of collective, critical reflection. She has exhibited at the 10th Nordic Biennale, Momentum (NO); Bergen Kunsthall (NO); Kunstnerforbundet (NO); Kunsthalle Wilhelmshaven (DE); Index—The Swedish Contemporary Art Foundation (SE); and Kunsthall Charlottenborg (DK), and co-founded the discursive platform and exhibition venue Louise Dany in Oslo (2016-2020).
During the session every participant will have the opportunity to share their own works in progress and contribute to the discussion.
PDF is free to join and held in English (due to its transnational setting).

PDF Structure
Each participant has around 20 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 by bringing in physical works, presenting a slideshow, reading, performance, or other suitable communication strategy. 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 questions or special requirements.
