ACTIVITIES
1. Talk and Nature Printing Workshop by Rusydan Norr
2pm – 3.30pm
Minimum $10 donation per pax RSVP via our website
As part of Saturdate artist and designer-in-training Rusydan Norr will share about his practice and introduce participants to alternative photographic processes in a hands-on experimental anthotype workshop. Anthotype is an early cameraless photographic technique that uses light-sensitive plant juices to create images. In this process sunlight gradually bleaches the plant extract revealing a delicate print over time.
The workshop explores how green waste can be repurposed into creative material offering an experimental approach to image-making.
Having previously developed an anthotype series titled Softscapes Rusydan will demonstrate the technique and share insights into this and other alternative processes he has explored.
About Rusydan Norr
Rusydan Norr (b. 1998) is a Singapore-based visual artist and designer in-training whose practice explores plants as resources of creativity and contemplation. Having worked across nature-based photographic processes and installations he is drawn to the various scales of interactions and transformations that occur within and across living systems over time.
His on-going inquiry positions sculptural forms as open systems that also act as support structures – substrates shaped by and responsive to natural processes – meditating on conservation and the interdependence between ecological resilience material decay and the rhythms of more-than-human life.
Rusydan graduated with a Diploma in Fine Arts from LASALLE College of the Arts in 2019. He has shown numerously in Singapore since and participated in an inter-school exhibition abroad (Kyoto Japan). Additionally he has done artist residencies at 405 Arts Residency (SG 2021) and Maison Des Arts George Claude et Pompidou (France 2022) and Goethe Institute (SG 2025). As of recently he is studying Biophilic Design in the University of the Arts Singapore.
