Broken? Workshop | February 2, 2023
In November 2022, I came across an open call by the Archipelago team for organizing a workshop, published in Piet's Nov edition. So I decided to write an email to them with an invitation on collaborating on a workshop exploring kintsugi and its connection to trauma. Luckily, they said yes, and we started working on the idea together. Although I don't have much experience in facilitating workshops, I was super eager to give it a try and talk with people about their thoughts on repairing broken things considering the analogy with Japanese wabi-sabi concept.
Title: ‘Broken? workshop' Come join us for the 'Broken?' workshop, where we will be using the kintsugi technique to repair broken pottery and have a discussion about trauma and self-healing. You can bring any broken ceramic items you have, such as cups, plates, mugs, or vases, or even small wooden items or torn pages. Tea and homemade cookies will be provided to help us relax and enjoy the workshop. At the end of the workshop, you will have the chance to repair a broken object yourself. This is a collaborative and exploratory session, so we encourage you to bring your own thoughts and experiences to the conversation. We'll be keeping the group small and cozy, with a maximum of 10 participants, so be sure to RSVP to stoilovab@proton.me if you'd like to join us. We can't wait to see you there!
