Join artist Jenna Lee in an innovative workshop exploring the transformation of language and text through art. Using techniques from her practice, Jenna will guide participants in deconstructing racist and problematic literature, transforming pages into beautiful, woven art pieces. Learn paper-craft methods such as string making, and weaving.
A unique opportunity to turn negative narratives into empowering artworks. Ideal for teachers who are after a deeper appreciation of multicultural identities through creative expression.

work in which she, her family, and the broader mixed First Nations community see themselves represented, Lee builds on a foundation of her father’s teachings of culture and her mother’s teachings of paper craft. Working primarily in installation Lee creates objects, works on paper, photography, video, projection and sound.
