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.

Misheck Masamvu's Residency Explores the Relationship Between Farming and an Artistic Practice

In August, we were pleased to welcome Misheck Masamvu as our second Goodman Gallery-funded resident at G.A.S. Foundation. Known for a distinct practice that spans painting, drawing, and sculpture, Misheck’s residency in Nigeria presents an exciting opportunity for him to engage with and respond directly to the local context through the development of a new body of work.

Misheck, who will spend the majority of his residency at the G.A.S. Farm House in Ijebu, hopes that his immersion in an environment that intersects agricultural life with an artistic setting will provide a fresh perspective and inspire new approaches to his creative process.
