About this Event

Join us for an After Hours Studio session inspired by Kira Freije’s exhibition Unspeak the Chorus.

What To Expect

Taking inspiration from Freije’s repeated cast figures and the expressive power of gesture, you’ll use alginate to create a cast of your own hand, exploring how simple poses can communicate emotion, connection and meaning without words. Together, we’ll consider what our own bodies might add to the installation, and how form and subtle differences can shape the way we read an artwork.

You'll be guided through the casting process step by step, with time to experiment, reflect and discuss the exhibition. Your finished cast will be ready to collect the following week.

We're offering these tickets on a pay-what-you-can basis (17.50, £22.50 or £27.50), with higher-price options helping to support Modern Art Oxford as a charity and keep events like this accessible to more people. Tickets include all necessary materials, a guided walk-through of Unspeak the Chorus, and a complimentary drink to enjoy during the session.
