Strike A Pose. On Communal Monuments and Memory

 

What happens when a body pose or a communal object becomes a small monument?

If you are between 15 and 19 years old, this workshop invites you to experiment with movement, creative expressions and technology. Participants create their own 3D models from their own different poses or objects, interact with the models, and 3D print these monuments.

The workshop combines body play, visual art and creative tech. It explores stillness, observation and movement shapes as an opportunity to experiment, play, collaborate and transform everyday experiences into unique memorials.
