Sunday April 27, 2:00-4:30pm at Tooth + Nail Studio, 2018 S 1st Street Suite 308 Milwaukee, WI.
This generative workshop is for interdisciplinary makers, writers and thinkers. We will develop an ecosystem of practices using objects, texts, and our own lives, that consider mediumship and creative kinship in a living world. Collaborate with others through eco-somatic prompts, while collaging media across formats. We will site our experiences as entry points into relationship and sources of creative ideation. Bring language into art making, bring meaning into being. Leave with a full heart.
Bring any preferred writing / drawing / collage / dry media. Bring a poem, book, image, handheld object. Select materials provided.
Sliding Scale registration available. Use code SLIDINGSCALE25 to take 25% off the fee, or code SLIDINGSCALE50 to take 50% off if the cost of registration is a barrier to your participation.
