@ Center for Concrete and Abstract Machines-Mana Contemporary 5th floor
2233 S Throop St, Chicago IL 60608
Opening Wednesday, September 16th, from 6PM - 8PM
This workshop is being offered hybrid (both in-person and online). Chicago participants are encouraged to attend in person; a zoom link will be sent to all registrants regardless.
Virtual Mas is a studio workshop grounded in the traditions of Caribbean performance and philosophy. The class invites participants to think together about masquerade as an emancipatory ethos, a technique of artful struggle, expression of identity as well as a resistance to visibility, through a shared process of digital mask making using P5.js and Blender.
Zoe Butler is a New Media Performance Artist who uses abstract moving images to engage and expand Guyanese folktales. Butler is a 2023-24 Fulbright Research Fellowship recipient, affiliated with The University of the West Indies, Saint Augustine Trinidad and Tobago. Her ongoing project titled Conversations and Constellations is a body of creative research exploring Caribbean oral traditions and the histories from which they emerge, to encourage the continued exchange of storytelling.
