Reclaim the street and reclaim your voice.
This important workshop is connected to our Eye as Witness exhibition, an immersive multimedia experience designed to make people question the motive behind Holocaust photography.
Whilst The Eye as Witness is an excitingly creative use of technology to reconsider the past, it has a chilling contemporary relevance. When you see an image or video shared online, ask yourself who recorded it and why? If pictures are worth a thousand words, then fake news and misrepresentation is far more sinister in photographic form.
The important workshop focuses on the importance of imagery to communicate ideas and messages. The plan is to talk a little about the history of using art to help demonstrate and protest. Looking at posters and design this section links to The Eye as Witness imagery and posters used to help the war effort. Using a variety of techniques, including drawing, collage, and paint, participants will create their own campaign designs, drawing from history. Through this process those will gain a deeper understanding of the impact and importance of design and typography. The group will be able to create a space full of collage, voice, poetry, and placards, bring it all together to create one amazing installation piece.
