Collage as Memoir: Towards Re-membering our Future Selves

Overview:

In this workshop, participants will explore the art of collage as a powerful form of artistic expression linked to re-membering (a non-linear narrative) that can imagine new ways of being outside of social, familial, political or historical scripts. Using the principle of “madness as magic” we will explore how collage can help us transform narratives of injustice (ex: racism, ableism, sanism etc) towards profound testimonies of future possibilities. We’ll delve into the intersection of memory, identity, and creativity through the medium of hand-cut paper collages. Whether you’re a seasoned artist or a beginner, this workshop is designed to inspire and engage. Using images and photographs collected from your own sources, you will learn how to create hand-cut paper collages with personal narrative, transformative & poetic meaning.
