Workshops
Botanical Beings
Riya Bhartia
How do the materials we work with shape the stories we tell about ourselves?
In this workshop, artist Riya introduces participants to ‘Botanical Beings’, beginning with a conversation around her practice, participants will look closely at her work before creating their own works using preserved flowers. Working slowly and intuitively, the session invites participants to engage with the materials through observation, reflection, and play, while exploring making as a practice of presence and care.
Together, participants will consider how the ways we engage with the world can shape what we create, and how the works we make can become reflections of our own ways of seeing and being.
This programme is exclusively for 18–25 year olds.
This session is conducted as part of our engagements for the MAP Youth Collective. The MAP Youth Collective is 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.
