Workshop Description

This portable screenprinting workshop has its roots in community-led public art and collaboration. Come prepared to work together in a group to brainstorm, draw, and print ideas collectively.

Taking place during Lan “Florence” Yee’s exhibition, Just Short of Everything, the workshop will ask participants to reflect on Yee’s work to “intervene into the standard forms of documentation” and “imagine alternative ways of reproducing images”. The exhibit will prompt us to ask, where can art as activism appear that’s unexpected? 

About the Artist

Lara Lucretia works primarily in illustration and printmaking and draws much inspiration from her gardens. Skill-sharing, collaboration, and community engagement are central to her art practice. She has illustrated and self-published two gardening books that use more page space for pictures than words.

Lara grew up in Toronto and currently lives in Lindsay. Art runs in the family, from her parents to her Danish, British, Russian and Italian ancestors. Lara founded Jakarundi Graphics Collective, which has done numerous screen printing projects and more recently large scale murals.
