apologia

/ˌapəˈləʊdʒɪə/

noun

 

a formal written defence of one's opinions or conduct.

The Apology Workshop (2017) takes the form of an interactive workshop, where audiences are invited to explore with the artist regarding the crisis that is the state of our apologies today.

​

It proposes that effective apologies satisfy the following 3 requirements:

​

1) defense of an idea, or clarification of an original intention,

2) echoing the sentiment of another, 

3) proposing a futural image for reconciliation. 

​

The apology workshop uses a range of teaching methods, including worksheets and roundtable discussions, encouraging participants to create effective apologies.
