In this hands-on, online workshop “Containers for Hardship,” artist Golnar Adili will guide participants in an exploration of how boxes can serve as visual narrations, containing objects, memories, and organizing in the face of disorder. Participants are invited to bring printed matter and small sentimental objects to contribute to the making process, which will juxtapose and distort image, text, and space in new ways.
This program is part of the series Artistic Practice: Skill-Sharing. For this series, invited artists and cultural producers share techniques they have learned and experiment with creative methods of exchanging knowledge and conveying experience.
Please Note: This is a two-part online workshop hosted over two sessions (October 13 and 20) that each last for two hours. Participants should plan to attend both sessions.
Tickets to this pair of workshops are available on a sliding scale of $10, $20, or $30. Scaled ticket prices are designed to increase program accessibility; please select the ticket price that you are able to afford.
