Sound Creature Observation with Julia Tsai

Free

The Sound Creature Observation Tour is a journey into a mystical world led by artist Julia Tsai. Participants will be asked to draw, describe, and make noises for creatures from their imagination.

Julia Tsai is a Chicago-based artist whose practice explores the human qualities we are sometimes too shy to share out loud, such as silliness, cuteness, and empathy.The aim of this workshop is to create connections between participants by subverting the setting of Zoom meeting into a space for silliness and play. You'll be invited to stretch your imagination through drawing and vocal exercises to bring your characters to life and collectively build an alternative world.

This workshop will be limited to 8 places. If you want to take part but don’t have access to a laptop and/or headphones please get in touch and Site Gallery will provide these for the duration of the project.

This workshop is aimed at audiences aged 10+. Intergenerational collaboration between your household is encouraged.

This session was programmed by theSociety of Explorers (Site Gallery’s collective of 14-18 year olds) from responses to Site's open call.
