Experiential Translation Online Seminar: SPIRALS - Presentation and Workshop with PartSuspended Artist Collective

Please join us for the sixth session of the Experiential Translation Online Seminar. We're delighted to host PartSuspended Artist Collective, who will present their ongoing multilingual and multidisciplinary project SPIRALS before inviting us all to get creative and join them on an interactive workshop. 

The seminar is free and open to all. 

Presentation:
Members of PartSuspended Artist Collective will present aspects of SPIRALS (2013-ongoing), as well as some of the work published in their recent book SPIRALS: A multilingual poetry and art anthology (Tears in the Fence, Dorset: 2024).
Workshop:
The workshop will explore ways that the form of a spiral can be translated through a variety of stimuli in a variety of art forms. The spiral acts as a sign of becoming, transforming and awareness that allows us to re-imagine the body’s relationship with organic forms, space and time. We will base our work on the way that Spirals Open Archive has emerged, in response to prompts organised under the following headings: 1) SPIRALS: TIME, MEMORY, HOME 2) SPIRALS: SPACE, CITY, ECOLOGY 3) SPIRALS: SELF, DESIRE, DREAMS. The participants will be invited to respond to one of these categories by writing, drawing, moving, performing, painting, taking a photograph, filming, recording. We will experiment with verbal, physical and digital language exploring thresholds, migration, path, nature, home, circular movement, and sense of belonging. At the end of the workshop the participants will present and/or perform their creation. Also, they will be invited to submit their artwork to PartSuspended’s Spirals Open Archive.
