Paper Cutout Collage Workshop: Family Memory and Diaspora with Emma Goudie
This workshop was so popular that we decided to do another one! Please note: if you registered or attended the April 4, 2025 workshop, the content will be the same, so kindly allow other folks the opportunity to attend.
We invite participants to reflect on the use of collage by the artists in our current exhibitions in this workshop led by artist and Esker Foundation Gallery Assistant, Emma Goudie.
Family histories can be filled with mystery, pain, journeys and celebrations. Sometimes our histories are complex and due to systems like migration, separation and the need for adaptation, intergenerational memories can be shadowed, hidden away and difficult to piece together. Collage offers a space to experiment, connect images that relate to identity, and the freedom to create, uncover or cut up. Working with this medium may offer insight and a canvas to both narrate and explore your own stories.
Participants are encouraged to explore their own family folklore and are welcome to bring photographs or any printed material that makes them think of home and/or personal stories.
