Join huiyin zhou for an art making workshop that explores the intimate interplay between text and image.
About this Event

This event was postponed from September 20 to December 6.

Join huiyin zhou for a workshop exploring the intimate interplay between text and image. We will look at examples of different artists’ work that interweaves personal writing with photography, with a focus on queer kinship, diaspora, and memory work. Participants will learn techniques for crafting personal stories through generative prompts and hands-on practice. Participants will leave with pieces of text + image art they create.

Bring 3-6 physical photos you feel connected to, whether from personal archives, family albums, or found objects (copies are encouraged). We will provide other materials for writing, crafting, and collaging. If you require these photos to be printed, feel free to email them to Danny Peña at [email protected] at least 2 days prior to the workshop.
