Programm
Experimental workshop inspired by the plant world. We will read texts about plants, learn the basics of making pigments with natural dyes and, based on a creative writing exercise, we will make a screen-printed publication.
Our main goal will be to connect with the urban landscape by looking closely at plants that are readily available in Berlin in order to learn from and with them. Through recognition and interaction with the plants, we will try to establish a symbiotic bond that will use art as the main connection.
*All texts will be provided prior to the start of the workshop.
