Queer stories have often been erased or altered. This workshop combines both alternative mapmaking and timekeeping to visual and represent queer lives, stories, and places.
Ashley Cook is a queer, multidisciplinary artist and designer with a keen interest on how we perceive and notice the world through language and metaphors. She works with paper mechanics, charcoal, acrylic painting, block printing, or a combination of these mediums. These workshops focus on shifting perspectives and how we see the world through playing with alternate ways of seeing, mapping, and visualizing the world. When we free ourselves from “one way” of seeing, what possibilities open up for us and for the world? In these workshops you will explore using paper, paint, sketching and other paper-based techniques in a fun and supportive environment.
