In the digital age, having an online presence as an artist is more important than ever. Presenting and/or documenting your own interests or works on social media is particularly important in the field of visual arts with a visual and content-related focus.
We have invited Luiza Furtado (artist, graphic designer) as an expert to give an insight into how to present yourself on social media. This survival training will be held in english.
She will focus on Instagram and address the following topics in a conversation type of setting:
- What does slow posting mean?
- How can I have and think about my presence on social media?
- What is the difference between being an artist online and and a content creator?
- What helping tools can I use for Instagram? (Canva, Grid Apps, Lightroom)
- How can I include social media in my work routine?
Luiza Furtado was born in Florianopolis, Brazil (1999). She lived in Rio de Janeiro where she received her Design BA from PUC in 2021. Since three years she moved to Austria for her studies at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna. She is a freelancer as a social media manager and graphic designer.
