Workshops 27 & 28 February
The EcoFutures workshops offer focused, hands-on spaces for collective reflection, skill-sharing, and experimentation. Running in parallel with selected programme sessions, these workshops are designed for smaller groups and require separate registration.
Workshop 1: Engrafting Hope
Date: Friday 27 February 2026, 15.00–16.00
Location: Red Room, Chelsea College of Arts
Host: Kwan Q Li (Artist, Hong Kong)
This workshop explores essayistic filmmaking as a way of living with grief and sustaining hope amid techno-positivist narratives. Through a performance lecture and guided reflection, participants encounter documentary, poetry, and artistic research as modes of emotional storytelling and attentiveness.
Workshop 2: Everyday Archiving
Date: Saturday 28 February 2026, 15:00–16:30
Location: Red Room, Chelsea College of Arts
Host: Jocelin Kee (Asia Art Archive, Hong Kong)
This hands-on workshop introduces practical and speculative approaches to archiving as a sustainable, everyday practice. Participants will explore digital storytelling, community mapping, and collaborative documentation, considering how anyone can become an archivist of their environmental surroundings.
Participants are encouraged to bring materials from a completed project (physical or digital).
