Join artist Laura Chen for a photo weaving and embroidery workshop, as part of Tate Liverpool’s East and South East Asian Heritage Month programme. Together you will explore their family photographs and their fragmented stories.
Chen’s project ‘Words from Dad’ is an experimental exploration of her Dutch-Chinese heritage. Using photographs from her family albums, Chen traces her mixed roots through her grandfather’s life stories.
Participants will have the opportunity to hear Chen talk about her work, before trying out photo weaving and embroidery techniques. There will be a refreshment break half way through.
This free workshop will take place in person at Tate Liverpool + RIBA North, 21 Mann Island, Liverpool, L3 1BP. You must register in advance to attend.
