Portret Pamięci

16.01 Fri 17:00

We invite you to inti­mate, free par­tic­i­pa­to­ry work­shops ded­i­cat­ed to the expe­ri­ence of loss. The aim of the ses­sions is to cre­ate memo­r­i­al col­lages. The gath­er­ing is reflec­tive and cre­ative in nature, and forms part of the diplo­ma research projects con­duct­ed by Jago­da Falc and Domini­ka Wawryszczuk — stu­dents at the Acad­e­my of Fine Arts in Warsaw.

The event is free; reg­is­tra­tion by email is required

Who are these workshops for?

  • for peo­ple who want to express them­selves through art,
  • for peo­ple inter­est­ed in design­ing spaces and forms for those in grief,
  • for peo­ple expe­ri­enc­ing loss,
  • for every­one who feels the need for a mind­ful encounter and reflection.

No artis­tic skills are required.

The work­shops cre­ate a safe, mind­ful space for paus­ing, con­ver­sa­tion and cre­ative expres­sion. Through work­ing with mate­ri­als, par­tic­i­pants will cre­ate a sym­bol­ic space of grief — a per­son­al form of mem­o­ry and mean­ing. The gath­er­ing is social in char­ac­ter, ground­ed in vol­un­tari­ness, mutu­al respect and the absence of judge­ment. Each par­tic­i­pant works at their own pace and decides for them­selves how much they wish to say and share.

“One mem­o­ry is enough to live for­ev­er.“
After Life, dir. Hirokazu Kore-eda (1998)

Programme:

The gath­er­ing will begin with a short intro­duc­tion and the cre­ation of a wel­com­ing atmos­phere. Par­tic­i­pants will then take part in a brief set­tling exer­cise fol­lowed by cre­ative work, dur­ing which they will cre­ate per­son­al mem­o­ry col­lages — a sym­bol­ic form of grief space. The work­shops will close with a sum­ma­ry of out­comes, shared reflec­tion, and a calm, emo­tion­al­ly ground­ed close to the ses­sion. The facil­i­ta­tors will also speak about human-cen­tred design and will sup­port par­tic­i­pants through­out the cre­ative process.
