SUMMARY:Intuitive Collage Workshop with grace (ge) gilbert
DESCRIPTION:Everyone has an archive. An archive is what you are left with– materials\, photographs\, documents\, questions\, the ripple effects of what and who has shaped your history. As Muriel Rukeyser states\, “poetry can extend the document.” How can we push this extension further by inviting the textures of our real archives into our creative work? \nIn this generative and hands-on two-hour workshop\, we will learn why (and how) one might manipulate personal “artifacts” to create multimedia collages that interrogate ruptures and absences in our personal and familial histories. We will explore hybrid works of contemporary visual poetics and interrogate our own personal histories through prompts\, experiments\, and discussion\, toward the end of coming away with some new creative experiments and ideas for future projects. \nAll participants who are interested are welcome\, no previous visual art experience needed. \nGuidance for participants\nYour archive is what you are left with– think about personal ephemera that intrigues you\, that feels important to and/or representative of you and your history. Please bring with you an assortment of pieces from your archive that you could use in collaging. \nPlease note: the best way to do this is to make multiple photocopies of the original material so that you can play around and keep the original safe.  \nHere are some examples of common things that participants have brought that represent their archive: \n\nFamily and historical photographs / copies or scans printed out\nPrinted scans of notes\, letters\, journal entries\, records\, government documents\, etc\nPrinted scans of inherited objects– buttons\, trinkets\, collectable items\, etc\nCollage-able meaningful personal ephemera– dried flowers\, string\, scraps or swatches\, etc\n\nThis is by no means an exhaustive list. Bring what calls to you. Basic materials will be provided by Silver Eye. \nRegistration is free (optional donations will support this event). Space is limited to twenty participants to facilitate meaningful connection and participation. \nFacilitator\ngrace (ge) gilbert (they/them) is a poet\, writer and collage artist. they received their MFA in poetry from the University of Pittsburgh in 2022\, where they now teach. they are the author of Holly (YesYes Books\, 2026)\, a hybrid image and text book about the 1976 murder of their paternal grandmother\, as well as three chapbooks. recent work can be found in The Kenyon Review\, The Iowa Review\, The Drift\, the 2023 Best of the Net anthology\, Pleiades\, The Indiana Review\, Ninth Letter\, The Adroit Journal\, and elsewhere.
