TULCA Education Workshop: Framed History and Future
Join Aoife Natsumi Frehan, TULCA Education Coordinator for a discussion to deep dive into the work of Marie Farrington in the historic James Mitchell Geology Museum.
Artist Marie Farrington’s DIAGONAL ACTS uses site-responsive work and participatory gestures to excavate sites of interdisciplinary, convergence and borders reworked. This multi-platform project arose from research into geological and archaeological imaginations. In its encounter, DIAGONAL ACTS explores diagonality as a relational and collaborative stance, temporarily ‘leaning’ against contexts, communities and histories.
This session is informal and discussion-led, open to the participants to shape the workshop in its trajectory. This is a space to pause, engage with the work more deeply while sharing such experience with others.
