Photographs are one of the essential elements in the Day of the Dead Altar. They are a window that allows us to remember, honour and maintain the memory of those loved ones who have gone before us. The photos are the loom where the personal story intertwines with the tradition, creating a bridge between the living and the dead.
In this Stitching in Photography Workshop we'll explore the importance of images within the altar and we'll talk about this beautiful tradition. We'll learn the technique of stitching on photography as a creative and symbolic artistic form, allowing us to remember and honour those in the images. This once off workshop is part of our Day of the Dead at Picado Series, a micro festival celebrating this colourful Mexican holiday.
Facilitated by the gorgeous Eli Duarte, from Caminando Se Resuelve, a project where migrants meet and reconnect with their identity through reflective arts and crafts, the workshop will allow participants to connect creatively in a relaxed and friendly environment. Participants will learn the stitch on a photograph technique and the space it has in tradition. We'll have some snacks and a complimentary soft drink. - This is a 2 hour workshop.
