Recasting the Archive

This immersive, two-day workshop invites participants to intersect their artistic practice with the museum’s collection, using popular culture and horror film ephemera as a starting point. Participants will be introduced to a diverse selection of artworks from the collection and guided by Anusha Vikram and Aadithya S from our collections team, through various creative methodologies for developing new artistic responses, interpretations, and collaborative experiments.

Through discussions, hands-on exercises, and shared reflections, the workshop fosters a highly interactive and participatory environment. Participants will exchange ideas, present their practices, and work in teams to ideate and develop draft outputs across a range of formats.

This workshop is designed for art students and participants who are actively pursuing an artistic practice.
