As part of Ontario Culture Days at 401 Richmond Street West, Burnt Sugar artist Bushra Junaid will share her collage practice in a drop-in hands-on workshop. Junaid will describe how she has treated turn of the twentieth century photographs of Caribbean sugarcane workers as family portraiture; renaming and reinventing them to resist erasure. Materials will be provided. Using paint and found materials (i.e. magazines, fabric, matte board, etc.) workshop participants will create one-of-a-kind collages that engage with the themes of the Burnt Sugar exhibition. We also encourage you to bring your own family photos, mementos, and interesting images — the better to make something truly meaningful to you.
