Listening to Images

Join this two-day workshop of creative inquiry and narrative experimentation where you engage with MAP’s latest exhibition, Beneath the Turning Sky. In the workshop, you will make your own short video works, responding to the exhibition through close looking, interpretation and poetic translation. Led by writer and sound researcher Mishika Goel, the workshop offers the space to reflect on how art can be re-encountered, re-imagined, and articulated through new narrative forms.

Drawing from her experiences in France and her creative process behind Prochaine Station: Aristide Briand, Mishika reflects on narrative as both method and medium. The workshop, situated at the intersection of language, moving image, and curatorial encounter, explores how artworks generate meaning beyond the visual- prompting stories, gestures, and varied forms of response..

This workshop is part of the ongoing series, Responding to Art through the Arts. Facilitated by arts practitioners, it aims to activate MAP’s galleries through a series of workshops that hold space for young people’s responses to artwork on display. 

It is conducted as part of our engagements for the MAP Youth Collective – a community for young people (18-25 year olds) to engage with the arts and culture sector. The collective is for, of and by young people — to explore our shared identities and interests through art.

Workshop requirements: Open to all skill levels, any phone camera/professional camera can be used.
