Embracing the Broken with Karen Ami Workshop
Each one of us holds beautiful yet imperfect stories within us. Gathering, sorting, and assembling materials, images and pieces of memory allows us to discover new relationships and associations- an embodiment of the process of mosaic making. Through a series of writing, drawing and collage exercises, combining disparate words and images, students can access new ideas through novel approaches to personal storytelling through visual thinking. In this hands-on 3 hour studio workshop, breaking, deconstruction, and re-composition will allow for connections through association, meaning and memory. Students will use creative problem solving and especially play to access new possibilities in thinking and in studio practices. Participants will create workbook/journals as an intimate and free playspace to explore and reflect on memory, place and identity. This workshop is intended to help you find, rediscover and empower your creative voice.
Participants will be asked to bring in photocopies of images (family photos, places, etc); notebook and pens/drawing tools will be provided. Safe space guidelines will provide a groundwork for sharing and collaboration.
