Join artist Kelly Zhou for a participatory workshop that reflects the core ideas of her commission The Weight of Memory: Un-scrollable Histories.<\/p>\n
Kelly will introduce her practice and the concept of the scroll that cannot be fully unrolled. She will share how memory, migration, and colonial legacies shape her work, using images from sketches and works-in-progress.<\/p>\n
This will be followed by a short Q&A session.Participants will be invited(but not required) to take part in a collective memory exercise. Using rice paper, ink, and brushes, each person can create a small mark, symbol, or fragment that represents a memory, place, or moment in history that holds meaning for them. These contributions will be gathered and assembled into Kelly’s final piece. The process is not about producing a polished artwork, but about layering voices and memories\u2014echoing the themes of silence, weight, and fragmentation.<\/p>\n
Suitable for age 14+ (under 16s must be accompanied by an adult).<\/p>\n
