Mindfulness and presence

In this section, Joseph Siddiqi, artist and instructor in the department of Studio Arts at Concordia, will begin by addressing “What is mindfulness”? in an illustrated introduction to the topic. He follows this by showing us two approaches to mindfulness, one which distinguishes between subject and object, while the other the subject is the object of mindfulness. Finally, he concludes with a video presentation on noticing the movement of attention, particularly as an insight made between connection mindfulness with painting practices, but can be applied to other disciplines.
