Step in front of artist Atong Atem’s camera lens and manifest your own alter-ego in the participatory workshop ‘You Are Your Idol’ presented at 4A. Drawing upon her experience in photography, soft sculpture and mixed-media collage, Atong will guide participants through the creation of fantastical masked personas using a vivid medley of props, costumery and art materials. The workshop will begin with a tour of 4A’s exhibition No False Idols led by curator Con Gerakaris, and will be followed by a hands-on shapeshifting workshop by Atong. Art materials, snacks, and drinks will be included in the cost.
