Welcome to "We Are Thinking About Revolution," an exciting and thought-provoking two-day mixed media collage workshop. Explore the expressive and subversive potential of art navigating the intersection of contemporary culture, politics, and personal consequence through the compelling and ever radical medium of collage.
Over the course of these two immersive days, participants will embark on a creative journey that transcends conventional artistic boundaries, challenging preconceptions and inviting a fresh perspective on the world around us. The workshop is designed to inspire dialogue and introspection, encouraging artists to engage with the powerful medium of collage as a means of articulating their thoughts, feelings, and visions about their world and the future.
Day 1: Deconstructing Perspectives
The workshop begins with an exploration of the fundamental principles of collage. Participants will be guided through various techniques of image selection, cutting, and juxtaposition, encouraging them to break down visual elements and reconstruct narratives that speak to their own unique viewpoints. Through hands-on exercises and collaborative discussions, artists will discover the potential of collage as a tool for dismantling established norms and reconstructing new, thought-provoking narratives.
Day 2: Building Narratives of Change
As the foundation of collage is laid on the first day, the second day focuses on honing the participants' newfound skills to address the overarching themes of contemporary culture, politics, and personal consequence. Guided by the theme of revolution, artists will be encouraged to explore and articulate their thoughts on societal shifts, political movements, and the profound personal consequences that arise from these dynamics. The workshop will culminate in the creation of individual or collaborative collage pieces that serve as visual manifestos, embodying the spirit of change and revolution.
"We Are Thinking About Revolution" is more than an art workshop; it's a platform for participants to engage with pressing issues, share diverse perspectives, and collectively imagine a world in transformation. Whether you are an experienced artist or a beginner, join us for two days of creativity, exploration, and the powerful potential of collage to ignite conversations that matter.
