Westside Secret Food Forests
28 May 2023 (1-5:30pm)

We will make maps of the neighbourhood to share our knowledge and stories of lesser-known areas where natural food resources can be found. 

Participants will learn traditional knowledge about food and foraging from one another and share our concerns and questions relating to this theme. We will get to know each other, and possibly know where we can get food. The map will also provide historical documentation of the neighbourhood. [ More Information ]

During this workshop, we will stretch printmaking conventions. Employing DIY methods, we will use commonly available objects (rubber bands, paper cut-outs, leaves, bones, ferns, feathers, flour, charcoal powder) as "plates" to make repeated patterns. We may sprinkle pigment over the surface and spray it with water to develop the colour, to form varied textures. We will also experiment with frottage and collage. 


In addition to synthetic inks, we will experiment with organics (coffee, henna, beets, grass) that we can find in daily life. Unlike synthetic inks, their colours change as they oxidize. Some examples are found here. https://sites.google.com/view/aried


Though not required, participants can also bring their own materials, such as cardboard, or old books.
