Contemporary Teens: Self Portrait Workshop

Showings

Contemporary Calgary Sat, Mar 4, 2023 12:00 PM

Description

For youth ages 12 - 18. Maximum group of 30 youth. 

Snacks and workshop supplies will be provided.

 

Our free onsite Contemporary Teens programs help inspire young people through the exploration of contemporary art, connecting them to communal, global, and social issues that affect all of our lives.

 

Taking cues from Souvenirs of the Self, 1991 by Jin-me Yoon, the youth will be prompted to think about appearances, and create a self portrait that communicates how they would see themselves represented.  The portrait need not be a face, and there is freedom to explore words, symbols, images, gifs and memes.
