A event held at Spike Island on Saturday 22nd November. The event starts at 11:00.
Tickets and info: https://www.spikeisland.org.uk/programme/events/i-am-making-art-memory-traces/
Drawing on Spike Island’s exhibition, Dan Lie: Sleeping Methodologies, artist and Spike Island studio holder Kamina Walton leads workshop exploring memory, grief and loss through the senses.
Starting in the gallery space, the workshop will touch on themes of restorative rest, recovery and emotion, using practices such as writing, gesture and personal objects as anchors of memory.
Participants are invited to bring an object that signifies someone who is no longer with them, touching on the visibility of what Lie refers to as ‘the secret society that must hide their emotions’.
“The essence of memory lies not in perfection but in imperfection – the gaps, the absences, and the human need to fill them with love, meaning, and a deeper understanding of our own evolving identities.”
Quote from Eternal Life? A Conversation with Hiroshi Ishii on TeleAbsence.
All materials are provided, and the workshop is open to adults of all ages and abilities.
