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. The presentation will highlight the works of renowned Black female collage artists, including Billie Zangewa and Deborah Roberts, whose practice draws heavily from the intersection of personal and cultural commentary. These artists use collage to weave together fragments of memory, identity, and history, offering a unique perspective on the Black female experience.
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. In Pieces will be led by G.A.S. resident Ana Ogunsanya, a multidisciplinary artist, designer, and educator.
