Workshop: Social Constructs and Haiku Portraits

Workshop Designer & Facilitator
GAKKO Project, Chiba, Japan

A 3-part workshop that explored the influence of cultural and historical narratives on identity. This workshop was designed to challenge participants to think about how they consume, create and present representations of themselves as well as others and how culture, and identity contribute to these understandings of ourselves and Others. Through a series of individual and group writing exercises, participants each created and recorded their own haiku. The outcome is a collaborative sound collage that is developed through a series of iterative writing activities, audio recordings, and assemblage.

Ages: 14-18
