Learn how to make a film without a camera with not/nowhere!
In this tactile, hands-on workshop, inspired by floriography, joy in nature, our connection to the land, colonial histories, and alternative geographies, participants will explore how to tell a narrative story on film using free form direct animation.
Experimenting with 16mm film, you will work with both clear and black leader through drawing, scratching, and collage, using pens, inks, DIY tools, and archival and organic materials.
Participants’ results will be projected at the end of the workshop, followed by a short collective discussion and sharing.
No previous experience with film required – beginners, artists, and makers of all kinds are welcome!
Please note: this workshop is a low-stakes, playful space which centres and is open to people of colour and those who identify as being of the global majority.
This event accompanies our current exhibition Joy Gregory: Catching Flies with Honey.
