SUMMARY:From Person to Page: Expressing the Self in Comics with Tania De Rozario
DESCRIPTION:The glow in your chest when you find the perfect meme to explain the day you just had. The laughter that bubbles up when your friends share the same. We have all experienced how images and narratives go hand-in-hand to move our emotions. \nJoin writing and visual art powerhouse Tania De Rozario in this four-week series\, where she will introduce you to her favourite comics\, demonstrate how the craft of comics allows you to understand visual metaphors\, and explore tools used in visual storytelling to make introspective\, diaristic comics. \nEvery week\, we will share our writing and drawing with one another in a casual environment. You don’t need to be a professional artist or writer to participate! \n  \nSESSION OUTLINE \nAll sessions will be held from 10am – 12pm Singapore time (SGT) / 6pm – 8pm Vancouver time (PST). Please use a time zone converter to find the corresponding time in your location. \nWe will be drawing and writing during this workshop. Please come with blank paper\, a pen and a pencil. If possible\, it would be great if you have a phone or camera that allows you to upload photos of your drawings to the internet. \n  \nSession 1: Thinking About Storytelling\nSaturday\, 8 February 2025 (SGT) | Friday\, 7 February 2025 (PST)\nLet’s begin by looking at frameworks through which we can begin to analyse and appreciate comics storytelling. We will also look at grids and experiment with how they can be used as structural guides to help organise information\, create rhythm\, and/or provide points of focus. \nSession 2: Visual Metaphors & Mark-making\nSaturday\, 15 February 2025 (SGT) | Friday\, 14 February 2025 (PST)\nIn this session\, we will look at the use of imaginative imagery in comics\, with a focus on non-representational elements as well as metaphorical images. We will also experiment with developing our own visual metaphors through a drawing exercise that utilises free association. \nSession 3: Medium\, Method & Material\nSaturday\, 22 February 2025 (SGT) | Friday\, 21 February 2025 (PST)\nExplore how different mediums and materials can help us expand storytelling possibilities and widen our visual vocabularies\, freeing us up to discover new ways of working and new ways of taking pleasure in the work that we make. \nSession 4: Hybrid Comics & Experimental Comics\nSaturday\, 1 March 2025 (SGT) | Friday\, 28 February 2025 (PST)\nIn our final session\, we will look at how comics-makers are pushing boundaries in terms of story structure\, form\, material\, language\, and the comic book as an object itself. We will also look at examples of poetry comics and visual art (e.g. painting\, collage\, sculpture) that combine image\, text and material in ways that we can learn from. \n  \nABOUT TANIA DE ROZARIO \nTania De Rozario is a writer\, visual artist\, and the author of four books.

SUMMARY:A Land Imagined: A Transnational Framework On Land Reclamation And Labour
DESCRIPTION:T:>Works features PerForm Fellow Dr Jerrine Tan\, a researcher\, writer and assistant professor at City University Hong Kong\, in the next PerForm keynote\, A Land Imagined: A Transnational Framework on Land Reclamation and Labour. Referencing Yeo Siew Hua’s neo-noir mystery thriller film A Land Imagined\, as well as Saidiya Hartman’s work on the fungibility of bodies and Lisa Lowe’s writings on immigration and citizenship\, Dr Tan brings together a lecture that allegorises the movement of land across bodies of water for the similar movement of indentured labourers. It further unpacks the film’s imaginative and responsible form of transnational assemblage which connects cultures and people not through labour or even soil\, but through art. \nImage credits: Akanga Film Asia
