Bhanu Kapil
Trace, Remnant: Incarnations for the Future Work
Online workshop | 8 July 2026 | 18.00-20.00 (BST) 10.00-12.00 (PDT)
Consider a colour or material or substance already present in your forming works, or in a work you're not sure how: to continue. Perhaps nothing has formed yet. Then, select a colour or material or substance that magnetises you. This should come in a form that will leave a mark, e.g. earth material (grasses, flowers, charcoal) or art material (crayon, pastel). It can be simple or complex. It can be trash. It can be an unguent. It can be ephemeral or structured. Come to the workshop with something (paper, cloth) that could receive a mark.
Come with something to write upon and with.
We will work and write across practices of witnessing and note-taking (glimpses) towards a future work.
