Listening to objects

Holocaust Centre North

Artist Louise K Wilson is leading a free sound and drawing workshop developed as part of her research on the objects in our collection.

Holocaust Exhibition & Learning Centre

This workshop incorporates a range of drawing exercises and making tasks to reflect on our relationship with objects: how we consider their materiality and their potential for memory recall. Participants will be asked to bring objects and photos that have personal significance. We will be asking – how do objects tell stories? How do we listen to them? The workshop will include short drawing exercises (absolutely no experience needed!), the opportunity to make a contact microphone (to listen to objects) and to make a GIF that combines collage and text. All materials provided Note: please don’t bring any objects that are especially fragile and breakable. Also bring one physical photos that resonates with you - this could be a family or friend photo, or something else entirely (eg a postcard) but it has to be connected to you in some way (it will not be damaged). You will need a phone with a phone camera and a set of personal headphones. If you have one – please bring an audio recorder (with mini jack input)
