Transnational Landscapes Research Day Events
Chelsea College of Arts
Friday 30 May, 14:00–17:00 BST
14:00–15:00
Evolving Landscape – Workshop by Lulu Wang
An interactive drawing workshop using the body as a dynamic tool for creating visual landscapes. Participants alternate between performing and drawing, forming group “body landscapes” guided by Lulu Wang. This rotating process creates a collaborative and evolving visual narrative.
Inspired by Wang’s ongoing work at the intersection of movement and drawing—including previous workshops with Bow Arts x East London Art Prize—this session also serves as a community-building process, reflecting on identity, migration, and shared space.
Please note: Erasers will not be provided. Participants are encouraged to embrace original marks and the organic evolution of their drawings.
15:20–16:30
Acts of Reparative Care: Trauma, Language, and Reparations – Workshop by Shiraz Bayjoo
This session explores themes of trauma, reparative aesthetics, and ecological memory, drawing from Bayjoo’s artistic practice. Through a screening of his film Pran Kouraz (Take Courage, 2019), participants will reflect on the history of island plantations, maroon communities, and land-based reparations in Mauritius.
The screening will be followed by an open group discussion on collective memory and healing.
16:45–17:15
Transnational Landscapes: Voices & Margins
A convivial discussion led by Almiro Andrade & Jessica Wan
This final discussion will explore themes of care, resistance, and solidarity across transnational contexts. Participants are invited to share thoughts and reflections inspired by the earlier workshops.
