Place, Memory, and Artifact - an Expanded Drawing Workshop: Transcending Global Borders through Community Building and Collaboration Within and Beyond the Classroom

Abstract

Hybrid Designers/Educators/Practitioners are powerful conduits for engagement within and beyond the classroom. This workshop presents the personal and pedagogical practices of collaborators Shea Chang and Joanne Pang. As co-designers of THE FLIPSIDE PROJECT, a COIL (Collaborative Online International Learning) initiative, and as recent artistic collaborators on Place, Memory, and Artifact: an Expanded Drawing Workshop, Chang + Pang relay their investigations of place and displacement through collaborative authorship & virtual and tacit drawing methods. The session is focused on drawing translation (reform), drawing iteration (remix), and drawing as object/artifact creation (remember). Participants will be asked to explore the notion of place and memory through embodied drawing exercises, iteration stations, and will leave with a unique artifact of their collaborative engagement. While in spontaneous dialogue with each other and facilitators, participants will gain understanding of how to combine virtual and tacit materials and processes (synergistic drawing practices) to ignite new collaborations within local and global communities.
