Recollection (2022)
as part of ho.rr collective
Saturday 14th August, 14.00-16.00
Mixed media workshop
An informal workshop led by Holly O’Brien and Rachael Ryder building on their collaborative residency at Studio Pavilion, House For An Art Lover.
The workshop explored projection and moving image as methods for community engagement, self-reflexivity and storytelling.
In this workshop, we collected stories and objects to collectively produce visual, mixed media responses to a collection of anonymous slides. We collaboratively explored the potentials for projection, through writing, drawing and collage.
After viewing our in-house slide collection, participants were asked to develop a visual response to a slide using mixed media (writing, images, drawing). The workshop acted as a test site of collaboration between workshop leaders and participants responding to reading and research which informs the theoretical basis of ho.rr.
Participants were asked to bring along an object or a photograph that reminds them of home.

This event was part of ho.rr (est 2021), the collaborative practice of curators Holly O’Brien and Rachael Ryder, based in Glasgow. HO.RR seeks to bring engaging and accessible moving image initiatives to communities in Glasgow. These moving image initiatives take form in screening events, film workshops, performance-based workshops, community-led engagement, and panel talks. Their residency at Studio Pavilion aims to be a critical space to develop a future programme and to carry out HO.RR’s collaborative, community-embedded practice on a public-facing stage.
