About:
Box of stories | A memory box workshop

She presents you a memory box. It is decorated on all sides – hand drawn and coloured with odd bits and pieces sticking to it. You open it and there are objects. Words, photographs, really old things, organic things, synthetic things, some that seem random and mundane, and things that you will never suspect meant anything at all. You look through them carefully one by one. Stories reveal themselves, connecting one object to the other as you explore. Slowly you close the box. The writings and drawings on the sides now breathe new meaning. They envelope all stories into one. And a new world opens.

In this workshop, we make a memory box to tell stories of our identities and histories.

Please bring

1. a personal story that you wish to share

2. objects related to your story that you wish to put in the box

3. an open mind

4. the spirit to participate

Please note that this workshop is for adults.

Shuxia and Jiaxin are friends from the same university who have studied community arts and popular education with great interests. Both have done photovoice (photogaphy) projects with youths and creative art workshops with migrant workers on different occasions. Their joint initiatives includes the Kokoro post card project which aims to (re)connect and encourage people using community art. More information on the Kokoro post card project can be view at http://www.facebook.com/dearkokoro.

Shuxia has also worked with Artists Caravan as an invited artist on the Manicured Nature Art Project. There, she presented an art installation and held a public workshop to make an earth blanket.
