⭐️We can imagine and predict a future in which technology dominates, but at the end of the day can a machine really be creative?
⭐️We might think about the future and sustainability. How will our impact on the environment generate opportunities for creativity and innovation?

As art increasingly intersects with digital technologies like AR and AI, how can we incorporate these advancements into our teaching practice to enrich the existing skills, knowledge, and historical context that visual art provides?

✨NEW EVENT: Back By Popular Demand: Metro inreach✨

📍24th February, 9:00 am - 12:30 pm
📍Corinda State High School

Introducing a new QATA event series BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND. QATA will invite one of our great artists from QATACON to repeat the workshop in term 1 and then pay for the artist to travel to a regional cluster to repeat the workshop in term 2.

⭐️About the event:
Tape-affiti : using everyday materials to explore language and culture with artist Vanghoua Anthony Vue

Vanghoua Anthony Vue harnesses the frictions and tensions of cultural difference from his transcultural Hmong Australian experience to develop works that offer more inclusive, diverse and hybrid tropes of belonging. These works often include everyday materials, objects, and processes that are based on Vue’s upbringing in Cairns, the resourcefulness of family members, and the influence of Hmong artistic traditions.

Vanghoua has exhibited in Australia and overseas, including Embodied Knowledge: Queensland Contemporary Art (2022) at QAGOMA and the 6th Singapore Biennale (2019).

This workshop is based on Vanghoua’s tape installations using industrial tapes on architectural surfaces, including windows and walls. These installations draw on languages, writing systems, and textiles to explore the adaptation of language and cultural translation within the Australian context. You will make your own tape artwork and consider how everyday materials can be used creatively to explore personal histories and then collaborate on a tape-affiti installation.

Member price: $25
Non member price: $60
