Tracing the In/Visible Home: Collaging Our Identities.
By News Desk
Led by Austyn de Lugo-Liston, Armory Teaching Artist, “Tracing the In/Visible Home: Collaging Our Identities” workshop is an invitation to consider how identity is shaped by encompassing factors such as location, family, environment, culture, values and beliefs, and relationships. The workshop is inspired by exhibiting artist Guanyu Xu’s expression of belonging through spatial analog collages representing immigration, home, and identity in domestic spaces.
The 2-hour workshop will uncover the work of Guanyu Xu in the current exhibition, my hands are monsters who believe in magic, followed by a collage-making session. Materials will be provided for the workshop. You are welcome to bring images to add to your collage.
The event is free to attend. RSVP appreciated. Click here to RSVP.
