Britain's What's On Event Guide
The Museum of Connection Workshop with Georgia Clemson and Lina Ivano
Embrace the power of collaborative creation in the second in a series of transformative workshops led by artist duo Georgia Clemson and Lina Ivanova, hosted by IMT Gallery. In The Museum of Connection you are invited to explore the generative possibilities of collectivity through a series of guided creative exercises, and to imagine working together as a new way to survive in the future of our damaged planet.
In the last decade, our experience of closeness has radically shifted. Digital interactions, though abundant, have left many of us reliant on screens for connection. Georgia and Lina began The Museum of Connection in response to this change, inspired by Donna Haraway’s term Sympoiesis, meaning making-with, a reminder that all creation and survival depends on collaboration.
The duo will transform IMT Gallery into a space of encounter, a shared and fertile ground where real-life connection and creativity can take root. Each workshop in the series will be themed for a collective act: food, play, touch, and movement. For this workshop, Lina and Georgia invite you to use your whole body to create and image with a difference, exploring the theme of movement.
In this workshop, we will gather in the gallery space to create one-of-a-kind artworks collectively and individually. The event will begin with a specially themed meditation, written by the artists, and unfold into writing and drawing games. The primary technique in this event will focus on cyanotypes, a form of experimental camera-less photography. This technique reduces the image to its fundamental components – light, shadow and form. The process is unpredictable by nature, resulting in artworks that record our intentional and incidental marks, the traces of presence, sharing, and interaction. Each image created is ephemeral but can be ‘fixed’ as a lasting memory of the moment. The workshop will culminate in the collaborative creation of a large-scale cyanotype.
