Artist talk & workshop with Sam Godfrey (Exeter University) within the context of the seminar "Oceanic Imaginaries: Thinking and Reading with Water" organized by Dorit Neumann. This event is open for all.
In their talk, Sam Godfrey speaks about their practice-based research using sloppy craft techniques, abject materials, and digital underwater environments to explore the idea of 'creeping' as a trans creative research methodology and to reimagine the relationship between trans visual art, and the wider textile and trans studies fields. In their practice, they create immersive digital underwater environments and textile installations that one must 'creep into' and find ways to move through.
In the workshop part of this event, Sam Godfrey introduces the practice of deep listening using their sound compositions of water. Using different materials, together we will then respond to our listening experience in tactile representation.
