- Wislawa Szymborska, ‘Nothing Twice’
Emami Art in collaboration with KCC presents a zine-making workshop as a public-facing programme under Nothing Twice curated by Ushmita Sahu at Emami Art. This workshop explores the concept of impermanence through the physical form of an improvised paper zine. It emphasises ‘imperfection as method’, inviting participants to integrate material play with analytical looking, focusing on themes like feminine labour, family archives, and the female body as a political site of remembrance
Guided by facilitators from Marchbaari, the participants will take inspiration from the ongoing group exhibition and use mixed media to construct narratives around memory, loss, and preservation, ultimately sharing their work in a process-oriented pop-up display.
NOTE: Participants are required to bring
- Scissors, pencil, eraser, ruler, black marker, paper and fabric scraps of their choice
- A few printed photographs (of themselves, their mothers, female friends, and their home)
- Their favourite poems (could be carried digitally or in printed form too if they want to paste)
- Anything else in printed form that reminds them of change
