Workshop for Families: Relics for the Future

Saturday, 18 June 2022 · 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM

Course Details

In this 2-hour workshop led by NTU CCA Singapore Artist-in-Residence Fazleen Karlan, children will act as both artists in the present, and archaeologists from the future. Participants, together with their guardian, will create their own artefact using an object of their choosing. Reversing the process where archaeologists dig and reconstruct fragmented pieces, participants will instead use clay, sand sediments, and paints, to mimic the rock layers that form around objects over time, thereby turning an object from the present, into a relic for the future! In the process, participants will put themselves in the shoes of archaeologists and learn how meanings and histories can be inferred from different items. The workshop will encourage participants to stretch the meaning of everyday objects across different temporalities and reflect on what we leave behind for future generations.

Date: 18 June 2022, Saturday
Time: 10:00am – 12:00pm
Venue: NTU CCA Singapore, Residencies Studios, Block 37 Malan Road, #01-01, Singapore 109452

Situated between art-making and archaeology, the artistic practice of Fazleen Karlan (b. 1993, Singapore) explores the themes of loss and time by mapping out the patterns of physical erasures within landscapes and socio-historical contexts. By engaging the historical stratifications of a site, her work navigates methods of archiving and reassembling fragments of overlooked histories to reimagine personal and cultural realities. Fazleen graduated with a BA in Fine Arts (First Class Honours) from LASALLE College of the Arts, conferred by Goldsmiths, University of London. Her works are regularly presented in Singapore, including in exhibitions such as d3ar succ3ss0r at Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay (2022); Between the Living and the Archive and Pivot Point, Gillman Barracks (2021); and Time Passes, National Gallery of Singapore (2020). She received the Anugerah Cemerlang Mendaki Award in 2019 and the Winston Oh Travel Award in 2016.
