Being for Others: Artist Workshop with Violette Bule

Join us as Artpace, Sala Diaz, and Contemporary at Blue Star come together to bring Being for Others, a project by Violette Bule. Being for Others is a participatory workshop where memory becomes image, language, and sound.

Guided by Spring 2026 Artpace International Artist-in-Residence Violette Bule, the project unfolds as a three-phase experience: participants rewrite a shared poem through their own memories and language, then reinterpret it through image, text, sound, and objects—expanding individual narratives into a collective mapping of experience.

The work created will culminate in a river projection at Echo Bridge along the San Antonio River, co-created with local artists and community members, and will be documented as part of an upcoming process-based exhibition at Presa House.

Workshop Dates:
May 16 | 1-4 PM at Artpace San Antonio
May 30 | at Contemporary at Blue Star

This workshop is free and open to all; no experience necessary. Space is limited

Violette Bule is a conceptual artist whose practice weaves together archival research, community participation, and interdisciplinary installation to explore social and economic vulnerability as a source of creativity and political agency. Her work addresses themes of memory, technology, social justice, and the political realities of displacement, examining how cultural and institutional frameworks shape identity.
