Sculptor and Founding Director of SARA Center,
Arunkumar H.G, and artist
Gagan Singh will be leading a workshop on drawing, visualisation and mapping of ecological relations. The session will think through drawing as a tool, with creative exercises that lead one through conceptual relations. Sharing posters from EcoWalk 2017 that was conducted by SARA Centre, spanning a walk of 157 kms, from Jog Falls to Shivamogga in Karnataka, the workshop will also think through different languages of graphic representation. Over 200 posters by artists were submitted towards this poster archive. Speaking through how these posters were deployed, the role of art in communication will be considered, especially in relation to ecological issues and experiences. This workshop invites artists of all ages (above 18 years) to participate.
