【1a lab 2022/23 — OPEN CALL for Storyteller Training Workshop: Collage City!】 

  

"It is story time at Collage City! We invite everyone to make new sense of the world of contemporary art, to find a passion and go all out to excel in its expression through storytelling."  

  

A work of art does not answer questions, it provokes them. Telling stories about art gives visual form to specific stories and the meanings they contain. The perspectives that viewers bring to artworks help bring the meaning and significance of the narratives they convey alive.  

 

Organised by 1a space, the curriculum of Collage City consists of fifteen lessons taught by serval practitioners on a voyage of rediscovery sparked by storytelling. Encompassing different forms of narrative through themed lectures, public dialogues, hands-on workshops, and task-based activities, Collage City will provide participants with windows looking into lived experience and ignite imaginations. We empower diverse audiences to connect and engage with artworks through the compelling stories they contain.  

     

Our mission at Collage City is to invite everyone to make new sense of the world of contemporary art, to find a passion and go all out to excel in its expression through storytelling. After completing the training, we expect participants to apply their knowledge. With guidance and help from tutors and the project team, participants would lead a public guided tour and participate in an exhibition from May to June 2023.
