Beginning in Summer 2023, Michael Stone-Richards, Executive Director of the Foundation, will inaugurate an annual intensive three-week Seminar in Critical Practice open to artists and writers whose practice engages embodied theoretical or philosophical reflection. This Seminar will work as a means of deepening participants’ knowledge of critical theory as itself a form of practice. The Seminar will also be a means of engaging with advanced aspects of critical theory through the work of Michael Stone-Richards and invited guests (theorists, artists, writers, social practitioners). The Seminar in Critical Practice will make significant use of the artistic and social ecologies of the City of Detroit. CONTACT >
