Where lies the intersection between instinct and reason in our ability to understand and process our surroundings? we'll tap into our intuitive somatic knowledge to make a collaborative large-scale mixed media drawing installation.

Participants will leave with a new toolkit of mark making skills and dance-inspired processes.

ABOUT FORGE:

FORGE connections. FUEL your practice. RESHAPE your creative process.

Kicking off this Winter, FORGE will be AKIN Collective’s newest creative incubator for practicing artists and designers. Participants will learn and share skills, discuss, debate, bust creative ruts, stretch their abilities, brainstorm with peers and be challenged to step outside of their practice. Our thematic workshops will provide an opportunity for advanced skill building with a strong emphasis on collaboration and knowledge transfer among members of AKIN’s community and beyond, and will focus on exploring unconventional processes or modes of expression. FORGE new paths in your creative practice.
