Harcourt Road Closing Workshop: Collective Drawing & Scroll Making

Closing Celebration & Workshop: Harcourt Road Scroll Making

Do you have / feel a connection with Harcourt Road? Or do you want to explore the potentials of community alongside others, in a safe, facilitated space?

To bring show to a close, we are inviting you to a free workshop led by Clara Cheung and Gum Cheng to produce a collective handscroll.

Typically depicting a landscape or other scenes in nature, this workshop is based on a traditional Chinese painting format that one literally ‘scrolls’ through to experience the image. Using a series of prompts, C&G Artpartment will lead the group through a drawing exercise to produce a long-form visual piece. The resulting works will become the basis of an experimental zine that documents the learning from the ‘Harcourt Road’ project.

We will take inspiration from all the stories and objects in the gallery and, through careful facilitation, will draw and make an image together, reflecting on what it means to create community, to listen and struggle alongside one another.⁠

With music, food and conversation, we hope to see out this show on a celebratory note. Hope to see you then!⁠
