The workshop, designed to span approximately 1.5 to 2 hours, will begin with Dawn Woolley’s brief talk and introduction to her #RebelSelves installation, currently on show at Diskurs gallery. This interactive workshop empowers attendees to express themselves artistically, fostering self-exploration and creativity at different levels. Woolley will invite particpants to develop characters using masks and gestures, and use their smartphones to produce their own #RebelSelves selfies.

Dawn Woolley‘s thought-provoking installation, “Rebel Selves,” confronts societal norms surrounding gender and beauty within selfies. Visitors can capture queer selfies that defy these norms and question traditional ideals. Woolley employs glitch and abstraction techniques to disrupt conventional modes of perception, urging a reevaluation of normative standards. The project aims to liberate individuals from marketable, individualistic identities and embrace a more inclusive and non-binary self-concept.
