No booking required. Drop-in anytime between 14:00-17:00
This workshop with artist Cecilia Bullo, explores the creation of sculptural talismans and garlands as gestures of protection, healing, and connection. Rooted in ecofeminist ideas, cross-cultural folklore, and ritual practices, participants are invited to work with natural materials such clay, fibre, botanical elements, and found objects to develop tactile forms that hold personal or collective meaning.
Participants will be encouraged to consider what rituals or protective gestures feel relevant to them within contemporary urban life, migration histories, or ancestral memory. The resulting works (written intentions, small symbolic objects/sculptures) will be activated throughout the exhibition and could become part of a time-durational installation as part of the artist’s exhibited work.
