Samantha Jack will present a newly developed participatory workshop at Depot Art’s Imaginarium in Possilpark, North Glasgow. With community engagement at the heart of Depot Art’s ethos, Jack blurs the boundaries between craft, community project and fine art practice. Inviting audiences to take part in an evolving protest, individuals can create a fabric patch or poster motivated by the issues of Refugee Week and fueled by collective conversation over tea and biscuits. Each patch and/or poster will be combined to form a ‘collective voice’ in the form of a protest flag or poster displayed publicly at the end of the week. To accompany the project and create a platform for conversational exchange, Jack will also produce a zine and blog.
