Linden Creates > Paper Boat Workshop

In conjunction with Jill Orr's ongoing exhibition, The Promised Land Refigured, this interactive workshop aims to facilitate
the sharing of diverse narratives surrounding migration to Australia across generations, nationalities, and circumstances.
Artist Dagmara Gieysztor will lead the group in learning a straightforward paper folding technique, which will contribute to a collective
installation showcased in the gallery. These paper boats symbolise not only a metaphorical representation but also a contemplation of Australian colonial and migrant histories, with a respectful acknowledgment of the traditional custodians of the land.

OUR FACILITATOR
DAGMARA GIEYSZTOR
Dagmara’s creative practice has always been about story telling. English as her second language pushed her towards image based, visual story telling techniques. Experimenting with a range of artforms, mediums and materials from photography, installation to theatre, film, puppetry and animation. Culminating in her Master’s degree forming a pioneering area of visual dramaturgy with a professional practice in theatre design. As an arts educator, Dagmara lectures across various universities on subjects ranging from Design for the Moving Image, Sustainable practice and History through Pop Culture. She teaches Visual Dramaturgy in Australia and internationally in the preforming arts sector. Her socially engaged artistic practices include community engagement projects exploring cultural belonging and the role of the artist in Australian society; curating events, facilitating workshops, discussions and protest art. Her commitment to sustainable practice means she most often uses paper, natural or upcycled materials and ephemeral art.
