This workshop takes place over two days. Your ticket is for both days: 11 and 12 October, 6:15 - 9:15pm. Please attend both evenings.

About

Over two days we will explore concepts of belonging and ‘unbelonging' through experimental animation techniques, soundtracking and soundscapes.

You will get an introduction to experimental animation techniques, soundtracking and soundscape to create new work inspired by Autograph’s exhibition Mónica de Miranda: The Island.

Artist Jessica Ashman will lead this event, enabling a space for artistic development and reflection – an opportunity to try new techniques and work alongside a contemporary artist to expand your creative practice.

We will discuss concepts of belonging and ‘unbelonging’, themes explored in Ashman’s own art practice and inspired by her first trip to her ancestral homeland of Jamaica. She created ‘Utopia Portals’: a mix of animated loops, mobile phone footage and soundscapes recorded during her time on the island, short filmic ‘glitches’ of reality, revealing surreal hidden worlds. Ashman will share her process, encouraging reflection on dreams, desires, nightmares, and what it means experience a “homecoming” to a home you are not connected to.

Artists with any level of experience are welcome to join us! You’ll come away with an experimental animation and soundscape, new ideas and artistic processes – to help your own exploration of belonging through art practice.
