Photo Transfer + Poetry Workshop
to
Shadbolt Centre for the Arts 6450 Deer Lake Avenue, Burnaby, British Columbia V5G 2J3
Join us for an artist talk and hands-on workshop on exploring themes of presence and absence through image, object and poetry on Thursday, August 7 at 5:30 pm in Studio 103.
Artists-in-residence Dora Prieto and Dani Proteau will be sharing their work-in-progress Imperfect Replicas, which mixes sculpture, photography and poetry. Attendees will get a behind-the-scenes look at the collaborative process and ideas shaping their work—like the use of replica objects to illustrate grief stories and poems written in response to art (aka ekphrastic poetry).
Following the artist talk, participants will take part in a photo transfer workshop with Dani, using small pre-cast replica objects and paper as surfaces for image-making. Then Dora will lead a poetry-writing session inspired by the artworks created. The afternoon will wrap up with snacks and a chance to view some early drafts and works-in-progress from their project.
Free. No prior experience necessary; all materials provided. Please note: workshop content includes themes of grief, death and loss.
