Workshop
Workshop | Sculptural Photography Workshop with Karen Zalamea
ADMISSION
Free
Pre-registration required.
Ages 5+. Children must be accompanied by an adult.
Led by artist Karen Zalamea, explore how sculptural experiments with photographs can uncover material ways of reshaping and reconstructing our connection to familiar images. The workshop will draw from approaches used in the exhibition Every Surface Is a Shrine and other simple techniques for creating sculptural photography, including cutting, folding, surface distressing, and layering. Participants are invited to bring 3 to 5 personal photographs (or copies of the photographs) that you are comfortable cutting and altering. Materials such as scissors, adhesives, cardstock, and other basic tools will be supplied.
Karen Zalamea is a visual artist whose photographic practice critically considers the medium’s methodologies and materials to attend to issues of memory, inheritance, place and identity. She is the recipient of the 2025 Barbara Spohr Memorial Award in Photography and the 2023 Prefix Prize. Her work has been presented in solo and group exhibitions and as public art projects across Canada and internationally. She holds an MFA from Concordia University, Montreal, and a BFA from Emily Carr University of Art + Design, Vancouver. The artist acknowledges the support of the Canada Council for the Arts and the BC Arts Council.
