Workshop in aid of the AGBI - using pre-made wax fragments and image-based fabric processes to explore the body as fragmented and adaptive.
About this Event

Join artist, Beth Seeboo, for an afternoon of working with pre-made wax fragments and image-based fabric processes to explore the body as fragmented, vulnerable, adaptive, and unresolved.

Rather than producing a singular, resolved object, participants will assemble, alter, and respond to existing bodily fragments, alongside transferring photocopied imagery onto fabric and reworking these surfaces with colour.

You’ll leave with a deeper sense of creative freedom. The workshop emphasizes process over outcome, encouraging making as a form of reflection, inquiry, and care rather than technical mastery. No experience necessary – just open curiosity.

About the Facilitator:

Beth Seeboo (b. 1999) is a London-based artist, youth worker and educator whose practice centres on working-class access, care and collective infrastructure within contemporary art. Seeboo works across mixed-media sculpture, collage, textiles, print and writing. Her practice mobilises art as inquiry and catharsis. Central to her work is the fragmented, abject body, positioned as defiance against the intact body; examining how it extends through layers of excess, grotesquery, obscurity and adornment.

Seeboo interrogates how bodies are produced within hyper-productive capitalism and neoliberal ideology, critiquing demands of corporeal labour. Her work explores resistance and complicity of girl-boss hustle culture; mechanised bodies through gym activity and health anxieties, informed by navigating borderline personality disorder and separation from her siblings by the state.
