KCW Art Week Series: Fabric Sculptural Playground
Royal Society of Sculptors London, UK



 
Using recycled materials, this collaborative workshop invites children and families to engage creatively while promoting community participation. Over a 4-hour drop-in session, participants will work together to build a large fabric sheet using off-cut fabric and other materials provided. A designated area with a large canvas or surface will be set up, allowing participants to join at any time to contribute. Facilitators will assist with threading and shaping the fabric safely. Once the fabric sheet is established, off-cut rope, cord, and string will be introduced as materials to create texture and structure. Participants will receive guidance on shaping techniques and safety measures and are encouraged to experiment with patterns and designs, drawing inspiration from Sarah Ryder’s work to foster creativity and community engagement. This workshop is supported by the Royal Society of Sculptors and is part of KCW Art Week 2024.

Stuffed: Dumpling Workshop

“STUFFED”, a dumpling workshop I facilitate at Peckham Levels for the residents and the local communities. Using dumpling making as a way to look at how culture and daily infrastructure shapes the way we live, move and react.

Looking For The Eye Candy
SESAM Ukraine
Slavutych, Ukraine



In SESAM 2021 Poliklinika, each residency consists of six WORKSHOPS, run by architectural students and young professionals under the umbrella theme ‘Poliklinika’ (polyclinic in English), focusing on healthcare and its relation to architecture. The workshops cover a wide spectrum of practices in architecture, from design and construction to theoretic research and conceptual art.

In the workshop I proposed to this residency, Looking For The Eye Candy, my idea was to make the act of waiting into a healing process, through the serendipitous discoveries inside the waiting room within the Poliklinika. By adding interactive elements and activities into the space, users are invited to explore their environment, using playfulness as a means of distraction to dispel uncertain feelings during waiting periods.

We have three selected spaces at the Poliklinika, which are Pipe Room, Black and White Room, and SunRoom. Each space is developed along a ‘quote’ that relates to our ‘senses’, using the founding objects in the poliklinika, we designed a series of interactive elements and activities that can "guide" the audience to discover all those interesting features within the space through engaging with their senses.

These speculative installations have involved a variety of creative exercises, such as colour and shape studies of the city, playground visiting, sensory exercise, and of course, a lot of FUN :D.
