Tracing Kingston’s Solidarities II: Mark Making, Meaning Making Poster Workshops
Animate your personal archives! Come and share your stories, bring your cherished photographs and personal mementos to make a large poster. Work with artist Alejandro Arauz, and use collage, drawing, painting, and printmaking to celebrate your living Kingston histories.
Tracing Kingston’s Solidarities III: Stories Out Loud
In this third movement of AGNES’s Tracing Kingston Solidarities series, you’re invited into a large format community printing party. Using large format printing plates, we produce billboard-scale prints that are collaged and wheat-pasted on key historical sites around the City of Kingston. As an alternative archive, these images and stories reinforce the idea of making visible beloved, hidden histories.
Tracing Kingston’s Solidarities is a collaboration between interdisciplinary artist Alejandro Arauz and Agnes’s Associate Curator, Arts of Africa Qanita Lilla. The mobile printing press was fabricated by Arauz, whose practice explores issues of identity and diaspora through the vernacular of print media, performance, and video. Lilla’s curatorial work looks to provide alternatives to exclusionary museum.
