About this program
Using Rina Banerjee’s Take me, take me, take me . . . to the Palace of love as inspiration, this series of evening artmaking workshops explores collage as an artistic strategy that shifts perspectives and activates the imagination. Through the three sessions, participants will combine drawing with an exploration of collage materials, including colored paper, magazine and newspaper cutouts, and small found or fabricated objects—such as feathers, fabric fragments, patches, and artificial flowers—that may hold personal, social, or political significance.
Each session of the series will include communal conversations and close looking at artworks in the YCBA’s collection, including those in Painters, Ports, and Profits: Artists and the East India Company 1750–1850.
Registration is required; program limited to twelve people, who must attend all three sessions to take part. This program meets on Thursdays, April 9, 23, and 30, 5:30–7 pm.
