Place and Space

Explore how the places and communities around you shape the way you make. In this workshop, you’ll reflect on where you live, the spaces you move through, and the people you connect with, then turn those experiences into art. Through discussion, mind-mapping and making, you’ll create a work inspired by your own sense of place, identity and community.

The key message: Everyone is an artist. Beep boop.
