Clay tablets are one of the most ancient writing mediums, serving as the earliest historical documents. In this workshop, Nurgül Rodriguez prompts us to think about immigration documents in general, and the ‘Landing Paper’ that is issued to new immigrants in particular.
The workshop will involve making one’s own clay tablet, with each participant choosing a word or collection of words that resonate most with their sense of identity.
The workshop has been developed as an extension of Rodriguez’s installation- In a New Land… Be Longing, that is currently on view in the exhibition Human Capital.
Materials will be provided.
This workshop is presented in conjunction with the exhibition Human Capital, on view until April 16, 2023.
