Project:
ICF x KAKAZI studio are collaborating on a workshop series titled Crafting Intimacy & Play, inviting Black women and non-binary people to engage with personal archives and stories through making art and intergenerational discussions.
Our fourth workshop, Sensual Material, will be led by London based artist Phoebe Collings-James. This workshop will explore the multiple ways in which we can understand the idea of a sensual material, considering clay, speech, emotions and even the highly sensitive membrane that is our body’s skin. Participants will be guided in different exercises using clay, writing and talking – to think about these ideas of sensuality through poetry and sculpture.
OPEN CALL
We are extending an open call to Black women and non-binary participants – particularly those with a relationship to Brixton – to join us for this Clay Workshop on Wednesday 25 September 2023, 6-8pm at Block 336 in Brixton. There are only 3 spaces available, so please only sign up if you are able to join the session. Tickets are limited to one per person.
About the project
Crafting Intimacy & Play is an opportunity for a small group of people to come together to engage with artists and different art forms across ceramics, fashion design, drawing, sound and scent. These creative activities help us imagine ways of connecting to the past, present and future, while exploring various paths to self-expression. The workshop series intends to connect Black women and non-binary peoples’ experiences to curiosity, play and joy.
About Phoebe Collings-James
Phoebe Collings-James is a London-based artist whose work spans across sound, performance, ceramics, sculpture and installation. Her works function as “emotional detritus” that speak of knowledges of feelings, the debris of violence, language, and desire which are inherent to living and surviving within hostile environments.
