Adam Nasser Benmakhlouf

In my practice-led experimental enquiry, I apply multiple creative-critical registers to explore the artist’s workshop in depth as a site of Fred Moten and Stefano Harney’s concept of the undercommons, a site of experimental sociality formed by and essential for the disenfranchised. I activate my extensive lived experience of facilitating and participating in workshops to demonstrate this field of activity as a vital method of social justice-informed practice in contemporary art. My collection of work spans several formats and genres of writing, including but not limited to scripting, poetic prose, event evaluation. I demonstrate the specific utility of experimental writing as capable of elaborating expansively and engagingly on urgent forms of radical practice within and around the art institution.
