If your plans change, please cancel your registration as soon as possible so that someone else can enjoy this offer. Thank you for helping us keep free programs accessible to those who want to participate.In the context of Berlin artist Christina Kubisch’s sound installationThe Conference of Trees at the Goethe Space Toronto, Hitoko Okada invites participants to explore the bonsai as a living, shifting presence—and to consider what it might mean to listen to nature, to one another, and to perspectives beyond our own.In a small-group setting, participants will move around Kubisch’s installation, making visual responses along the way. Through mixed-media collage and mark-making on paper, the workshop becomes a collective art practice: a way to experiment with relational thinking, hold contradictions as multiple truths, and move beyond binary ways of seeing.How can we practice seeing multiple perspectives as a whole? What does relational thinking look like? And what might happen when we make art together rather than alone?No previous artistic experience is needed. Come as you are—all materials will be supplied.About Hitoko OkadaHitoko Okada is an interdisciplinary artist based in Hamilton, Ontario, whose practice spans fashion, theatre, installation, social practice and curatorial projects.
