Presented by Jess Pouncy
Join the Frist Art Museum and artist Jess Pouncy for this workshop inspired by the exhibition Magdalena Campos-Pons: Behold. Participants will explore a variety of symbolic objects and materials with which to construct photographic assemblages representing the self and the connections forming our identities. Pouncy will then guide participants through a variety of Polaroid manipulation techniques, including chemical processing disruption, collage, and emulsion lift transfers, and the incorporation of additional media such as drawing, painting, and sewing. Participants will leave this workshop with multiple photographs that may be presented as a series of individuals works or a multipart assemblage.
Ages 18+ only; space is limited; all skill levels are welcome.
