Autograph. Photograph by Kate Elliott.

A hands-on workshop inviting you to explore storytelling and personal history through paper weaving with photographs.

Expanding on collage’s dynamic interplay with activism and experimentation, Autograph’s exhibition I Still Dream of Lost Vocabularies considers how artists have used the photographic image as a tool to reimagine or restage fragmented histories. Let by artist-educator Nilupa Yasmin, this workshop will be inspired by collage practices featured in the exhibition and Yasmin’s own work. After viewing the exhibition, you will be introduced to the cultural history and significance of weaving, discussing how craft and photography can come together to explore identity and memory.

You’ll then create a woven artwork using a mix of reproductions from Autograph’s collection and a photograph representing yourself. Through combining strips of images and materials, you will produce a personal visual tapestry: weaving new connections between the past, present and future. You will get to take home your woven collage.
