Event: In Pieces

Event: In Pieces

A mind-mapping and collage workshop exploring personal and cultural histories.

Join us for In Pieces, a collage workshop that invites you to explore culture through the powerful lens of your personal experiences. This interactive session will begin with a presentation that will uncover collage as a language of autoethnographic expression, an approach that combines the personal with the cultural to tell stories rooted in individual lived experiences.

Following the presentation, participants will engage in an introspective mind-mapping activity designed to uncover the themes and stories most significant to themselves. This reflective exercise will serve as the foundation for a hands-on collaging workshop, where there will be an opportunity to create your own piece of autoethnographic art.
