Drawing as remixing (Millie Rose Dobree)

About

We all learn to speak, walk, dance, sing and draw through copying. Rejecting the idea that copying is  unoriginal, we will be making drawings using found text, objects, shapes, stencils, and each other. Millie will begin with some exercises in compiling text from newspapers, flyers, and the internet. Taking inspiration from how collage assembles the everyday to say something new, we will then swap texts to create images in response. The collective narratives we create could be turned into a zine that you can take home.

Evening workshop format: Our series of Evening workshops will focus on extending drawing through low-tech, low cost, DIY techniques. The creatives leading each workshop are young and emerging, yet each is working in a strong and accomplished way with their approach and materials. Curated by Issey Kang.
