ARTIST WORKSHOP: Experimental collage and zine making with Isabella Capezio

In a 2-hour hands-on workshop with artist Isabella Capezio, use visual materials to create your own artwork in the form of a collage or zine.

Zines and Collage have been a way for artists to work through ideas using found materials and archives.

Drawing inspiration from historic techniques and contemporary materials, you will experiment with physical and digital collage and manipulation. Through guidance working collaboratively, you can use the process of collage to work through ideas, find new links and associations to find and express meaning.

Participants will explore key elements such as colour, balance, layering, appropriation, humour and juxtaposition, before learning a step-by-step process for developing their own works. Using both physical and digital methods, including scanning and zine-making, attendees will experiment with 2D and 3D materials to create unique collages. Each participant will take home their own printed collage or zine as a creative keepsake.

Isabella Capezio is an artist and lecturer in photography at RMIT University living and working on stolen Wurrundjeri Woi Wurrung land. Isabella’s work and research explore ideas of failure, queerness, and nature and how alternative and expanded forms of photography can unsettle existing colonising forms of representation. Isabella is interested in experimental, process-driven and site-specific engagements with environments and their histories to address the climate crisis, extraction and colonial logics. Due to their interest in education and public collaboration, they have facilitated many workshops from photobooks, landscape photography to ceramics and cyanotypes.
