Recollection (2022)

Mixed media workshop

An informal workshop led by Holly O’Brien and Rachael Ryder building on their collaborative residency at Studio Pavilion, House For An Art Lover.

The workshop explored projection and moving image as methods for community engagement, self-reflexivity and storytelling.
In this workshop, we collected stories and objects to collectively produce visual, mixed media responses to a collection of anonymous slides. We collaboratively explored the potentials for projection, through writing, drawing and collage.

After viewing our in-house slide collection, participants were asked to develop a visual response to a slide using mixed media (writing, images, drawing). The workshop acted as a test site of collaboration between workshop leaders and participants responding to reading and research which informs the theoretical basis of ho.rr.
 
Participants were asked to bring along an object or a photograph that reminds them of home.
