On 21st and 22nd of October, we invite you to undertake a transformation, in preparation for the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain. This ancestral Gaelic festival marks both the end of the harvest season and beginning of winter, when otherworldly spirits venture to our world at the door of the 'darker half' of the year. This liminal calendrical event blurs the boundary between worlds, a perfect opportunity to undergo a metamorphosis through a magical mask of your own creation.
From beginning to end you will be guided over the technical and creative process and you will be offered different sources of inspiration, as well as the opportunity to embody your character through some simple performative acts.
The workshop will be hosted by Lupa, co-director of the ART group Undergrowth C.I.C

☾ A bit about me:
I am Lupa, a multidisciplinary artist and maker, born in Rome as Lucrezia Chiarle.
When it comes to artistic expression, I have a view never to restrict myself to a single medium. My ideas manifest organically through the many different techniques that I have trained with, including theatre making, craft, tattoo, performance art, and music. I use my art to explore my interests and inspiration, often stemming from nature, folklore and magic.
This unconstrained approach to creativity is my driving force. I believe in the infinite possibilities of art practice as a form of self discovery, collective therapy, strengthening communities, as well as opening portals into different realms and the subconscious. My intention is to share this philosophy with others through my creations.
In 2016 I graduated in Graphic Design and Moving image at Central Saint Martins, London. The year after, I co-founded the Undergrowth Collective, now a Community Interest Company, where I have fulfilled various roles including art director, costume and puppet maker, and performer. Then, in 2021 I began a Masters degree in Visual Anthropology at Goldsmiths University, London, with a final thesis and ethnographic film on Carnival as a place of liberation and political resistance. I am currently based in Bristol, UK, working with Undergrowth and developing my art business and practise.
