Using cryptids as a metaphor for indigeneity, Cunty Cryptids Club have been pioneering what it means to provide “de-colonial art spaces” for Takatāpui youth. Their recent works consist of Clothing alteration/world building workshops for indigenous youth all around the motu. In this workshop you will take the time to do the deep work of fully fleshing out a character before moving on to brainstorming their adornments with playdough and mask.Have you ever found yourself arming your player in a video game and spending more time creating a character than actually playing? Did you draw your own Pokémon cards, creating creatures with awesome abilities and equally awesome style? Like the work of Steven Junil Park as seen in The Vessel, before a costume can begin being made, it needs a character. Whether that character is 10 foot tall and clad in a patchwork of recycled wool, or draped in violet silk, costumes convey a story and exist for a purpose.
In this workshop you might decide that you dream self flies... but what would your wings look like? If you lived under water would you have the tail of a mako shark or a seahorse? With the Cunty Cryptids Club’s guidance, you can be anything you imagine.
For ages 15+
