As part of the Repair Redux exhibition, artist Cora Sehgal Cuthbert invites you to a free shrine making workshop. With Cora drawing upon the presence of Hindusim within her family history, this session will explore shrines as a way of fostering love, care, connection, belonging, and learning. Cora Sehgal Cuthbert’s multimedia work explores the intersections between the personal, the cultural, and a universal spirituality/humanity. Through this, Cora aims to expand her own and the audience’s worldview, to encourage the sharing of stories, and to encourage the recognition of the beauty and love within our own everyday lives.
You will learn about shrines, especially within a Hindu context and make your own individual shrines/shrine items dedicated to a personal object which you wish to (re)connect to.
This is a workshop suitable for everyone above 16 years old.
We encourage sign ups from diasporic backgrounds/ those who consider immigration/displacement to be a key part of their personal/family history.
Wellbeing warning! – please note these workshops will include discussions around the theme of home and feelings of displacement. If these themes feel heavy for you right now, please carefully consider any negative impact the workshop might have on your wellbeing.
Info on the object to bring in – Please remember to bring in your personal object. A suggested prompt for this object is something that reminds you of home (remember ‘home’ does not have to refer to a single place; it could refer to a feeling). We will be scanning/taking polaroid pictures of the objects so please bear this in mind when making your selection (e.g. an object which is very big and thick may not scan that well (our scanner bed is only A4). Example objects include: an item of jewellery, a photograph from a family album, a shell, a knick knack etc.
