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 44 – welcomes Oslo based artist Sille Storihle to open this month’s session. Sille will be sharing their process for a commission for the 400th anniversary of the city of Oslo in 2024. Their current practice focuses on live action role-playing games (LARP) as an artistic methodology in the production of moving images. The session is an opportunity to join Sille in discussing the social and political role of art in a critical, yet playful way.
During the session participants will have the opportunity to share their own works in progress or simply join the discussion.

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.
