My Story My Home

June 10, 2018/ Kindling Creative

In October 2017, we put our building hats on and moved into the Art Gallery space, albeit temporarily!

We were invited to run some children's workshop in conjunction with the My Story My Home exhibition, designed and produced by World Press Photo Perth.

Awesome! Stories of home... come and tell yours at the Art Gallery of WA today and tomorrow! #kindlingcreative #mystorymyhome

We learnt a good deal about engagement.

We learnt something about play.

We thought about our ways of working!

We had a lot of 'stuff'! But in terms of play and making, 'stuff' becomes something else. It is given life and meaning by those who manipulate it to create a new use for it.

And boy, can Perth kids play! It was such a fun weekend! Thank you AGWA and World Press Photo Perth for including us in this amazing activity!

/ziːn/ ZEEN (noun informal): small scale, handmade magazine or fanzine. Focuses on unconventional or specialized content.

"Among the various intentions for creation and publication are developing one's identity, sharing a niche-skill or art, or developing a story, as opposed to seeking profit. Zines have served as a significant medium of communication in various subcultures, and frequently draw inspiration from a "do-it-yourself" philosophy that disregard the traditional conventions of professional design and publishing houses proposing an alternative, confident and self-aware contribution.[1] Handwritten zines, or carbon zines are individually made, emphasizing personal connection between creator and reader,[1] turning imagined communities into embodied ones."
