Event Details

Sat & Sun 20 & 21 Jan 2024 | 2 - 6 pm | Rooftop Studio 1, Level 5, City Hall Wing 
From mapping objects to family trees, this thought-provoking two-day workshop invites you to consider the impulses behind how we categorise things and their associated narratives. Conceptualised and facilitated by artist-educator Ray Langenbach, participants will be led through several dialogue and co-creation exercises, will engage with their chosen objects and share stories about themselves in relation to the narratives drawn from selected artworks in the Gallery.
