Paper Cutout Collage Workshop: Family Memory and Diaspora with Emma Goudie
Paper Cutout Collage Workshop: Family Memory and Diaspora
Friday 4 April
6–8 PM
We invite participants to reflect on our current exhibitions, and how each artist uses collage to make sense of fragmented histories in this workshop led by artist and Esker Gallery Assistant, Emma Goudie.
Family histories can be filled with mystery, pain, journeys, and celebrations. Sometimes our histories are complex and due to systems like migration, separation and the need for adaptation, intergenerational memories can be shadowed, hid away, and difficult to piece together. Collage offers a space to experiment, connect images that relate to identity, and the freedom to create, uncover, or cut up. Working with this medium may offer insight and a canvas to both narrate and explore your own stories.
Participants are encouraged to explore their own family folklore and are welcome to bring photographs or any printed material that makes them think of home and/or personal stories.
Recommended for ages 16 and over.
