ART SCHOOL Day 1
ART SCHOOL is one of the ways that MAIA leads enquiries into topics that affect the organisation and the local community. Through prompts and the free-use of materials, we ask participants to respond to themes that can catapult our understanding of the issues facing Ladywood, and the world, into a collective state. This is a site for transformation, weaving our personal imaginations and offerings into the design and making of ABUELOS.
This will be followed by an OPEN HOUSE, which will give attendees the opportunity to connect with one another, use YARD how they wish and eat with us.
ROUND 1:
Prompt: ABUELOS initial architectural plan
Question: We’re creating ABUELOS as a community infrastructure, alive with the artists and cultural workers that make it their home from home.
How would you envision a cultural space where you can be your best creative self?
What spaces would enable your creativity to flourish? What do they look, feel, sound, smell and taste like?
Choose a medium:
