Broken? Workshop | February 2, 2023
In mid-November last year I saw an open call invitation by the Archipelago team about organising a workshop with them. It was published in the Piet's Nov edition. At that time, I had an idea that has been sitting in the back of my mind for a while and I decided to reach out to them and see if it is something that they would be interested in organising together. Lukully, they said yes. :)
A bit of context
Personally, I find some aspects of Japanese culture very interesting, and I like pottery objects and enjoy reading and talking about (healing from) trauma. During the pandemic, I discovered and started experimenting with 'kintsugi' - a Japanese practice that perhaps exemplifies the spirit of wabi-sabi best. I found that joining broken ceramic pieces back together and appreciating the beauty that is "imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete", became a way to cope with stress, recognise some traumatic events in my past and take action to overcome them. So kintsugi in a way brings these three interests into one concept. This workshop will also contribute to my personal research on trauma and may lay the foundation for future artistic practice. Not quite sure how tho but I would like to give it a try. To be honest, I have no experience in facilitating workshops like this one, and I feel a bit nervous about it.
