Workshop

Linoprinting the natural world of Malmö and the Øresund

27 May

STPLN

Try your hand at linoleum printing and make your own print of local wildlife and creatures

Get to know the non-human creatures living side-by-side with the residents of Malmö and across the Öresund by creating your own linoleum print masterpiece. Learn how to print your own linoleum prints! In this beginner's workshop, you will learn how to design, cut and print a lino print - a graphic printmaking technique using a soft rubber block and relief print. There will be some reference material available.

During this guided workshop session, you will be provided with all the tools, linoprint block, and instruction from local artist, Kate Saunders. You can select a creature from a variety of different references and learn more about how this nonhuman organism is connected to the ecosystem.

At the end of the session you will leave with at least one or more small art prints and hopefully a deeper connection with your chosen creature!

A FESTIVAL FOR ECOLOGICAL CULTURE IN MALMÖ https://locallyalien.org/

The objective of this program is to look more deeply at nonhuman species (plants, fungi, animals, bacteria, and the rest) in Malmö and to better understand the market and state forces behind rapid extinction of species globally. Listening to, and looking to creatures around us, they can show us how these forces are at work here in the city.

In this post-industrial city we can find that the myth of “man and nature” is baked into its harbors, roads, and buildings. Through Locally Alien we will explore how domination, extraction, and exploitation have come to define our relationship to nonhuman residents of the city.

The program is composed of creative workshops, exhibitions, walks, and performances focused on the ecological culture of Malmö. Through the perspective of the city’s many different residents we might find new ways of relating to nonhuman ecology.
