Virtual Exiles

Kempadoo will direct a two day workshop for
people who wish to express an experience or awareness of more than one cultural
background, who identify with feelings of displacement and/or migration and who
are interested in creatively expressing this in an imaginative and visual form.
“I would also encourage people to participate who may not have this experience
directly, but who have a relative or friend who they would like to work
with.”  Whether it is through audio,
video, a multimedia piece, or a series of images or texts, the participants are
invited to contribute their own experience of being ‘settled’ within one
culture and yet having a sense of belonging with another. Such contributions
are then contextualised and presented alongside Kempadoo’s own work at the
Virtual Exiles.

This workshop is ideally for people who
have some creative background or who  are
familiar with a creative practice. The number of workshop participants is  limited to 10. There is no admission fee, but
prior application is required.  The
application date is Wednesday, October 3rd. Applications will be accepted  at the office of the City of Women at Kersnikova 4, or by phone (01 438 15
80);  e-mail: info@cityofwomen-a.si.
