Changing Track: A Response in Riso

  Share:

In response to the exhibition Changing Track, we will spend time with the artworks in the company of London-based graphic designer Sylvia Ugga and the exhibition’s curator, Estelle Marois, to think together about a response in print, that will be printed at Rabbits Road Press later in the spring.

 

Changing Track is presenting video and installation works by five French artists: Samir Laghouati-Rashwan, Randa Maroufi, Rayane Mcirdi, Valentin Noujaïm, and Sara Ouhaddou. This workshop will consist in an open discussion led by Sylvia and the curator, exploring how the artists’ works can resonate in the UK context, and how to devise a creative response to the exhibition. Taking inspiration from the artworks to form new ideas, we will plan and sketch their translation in print form, with the aim of elaborating a single collaborative document.

 

The participants will be invited to submit their final artworks via e-mail to estmarois (at) gmail.com by 20 April. Later this spring, we will design and issue the print at Rabbits Road Press’s risograph studio. The participants will be able to collect their copy at the P21 Gallery; and the print will be sent to the artists as well, as both a tangible memory from their exhibition project at the gallery and a friendly response from London-based audiences.

 

The event is free, but RSVP is mandatory as seats are limited.
