Event – Detail

Continuing his artistic practice of “futuring” as a communal exercise, this 3-hour artmaking workshop uses collage to remember and imagine our collective experiences in the city of Philadelphia. Drawn from prompts and discussions around memory and our future predictions, participants will work with local, archival, and contemporary imagery from the city and begin illustrating and constructing these visions through paper collage. While creating compositions that illustrate re-imagined landscapes of Philadelphia, participants will learn several techniques for dynamic composition and visual storytelling.

Materials will be provided.

Yannick Lowery is an interdisciplinary artist currently working in Philadelphia, PA. Originally from New York City, he embraces both cities as cultural and creative influences, drawing on their rich and diverse visual art histories to fuel his practice. Yannick studied sculpture and graphic design at The Atlanta College of Art (now SCAD) and Columbia College in Chicago. Yannick’s work often weaves together illustrated proverbs, premonitions, and historical references to guide viewers through cultural introspection and imaginative narratives. Using archival imagery and his own photography, he engages in world-building through collage, animation, cyanotypes, and sculptural pieces, creating thought-provoking and exploratory works.
