Surface, Material and Belonging: Making Camera-less Films Thursday 17 April. 3 x 1 hour workshops at 10:45AM, 12:30PM & 2PM
Make your own camera-less film! The films will be projected at the end of the workshop and you’ll be able to take your film strip home with you. By drawing, mark making and punching holes into blank 16mm film strips, we will collectively make a camera less film. Taking cue from the exhibition Labours of Love, Subjects of State, we will consider the surfaces of the spaces around us, at home, work and in our leisure time. £4
