An online workshop exploring storytelling through image-making and creative writing inspired by landscape and personal archives.
(Limited spots available) Join us on Thursday May 25 at 6pm (UK time) for an online workshop on image-making practices, exploring how the concept of landscape, particularly British landscape, is perceived by people with experience of migration or dislocation.
Hosted by multidisciplinary artist and producer, Nikta Mohammadi, the online workshop will give attendees the opportunity to explore storytelling through image-making and creative writing practices inspired by landscape, memory and dreams.
By understanding the tools and techniques of creating a photo-roman based on writing prompts and vice versa, attendees will be guided to respond to a brief in an open format, working with personal archives in an embodied manner.
Online Workshops are held monthly as part of Commun People, a programme that advocates for emerging BIPOC voices to participate in the Arts while strengthening their skills and widening their employment opportunities. By encouraging critical discourse, peer mentoring, practical and creative development, the programme will support BIPOC voices to develop their practice and overcome often exclusionary barriers to initiating or sustaining a career in the Arts.
Nikta Mohammadi is a multi-disciplinary artist and producer, working across moving image, performance, sound and text. Mohammadi’s practice is rooted in her dreams and the splendour in the mundane details of day-to-day life. Currently, she is building a body of work that investigates British rural landscape, incorporating literature, myths and rituals from Iran and Britain with an interdisciplinary formal approach. In partnership with The Lowry, Salford, Mohammadi is developing Memory Stone, an audio-visual installation focusing on British countryside and the ghostly imprints migrants make on foreign lands.
