Event
A Slogan Class: 3000 Word Chant!
Thursday 14 October 2021 - Saturday 16 October 2021
The Ignorant Art School, Sit-in Curriculum #1
Building on the ideas in a workshop during sit-in #1, this workshop facilitated by designer Neil McGuire will explore ways of using words, letters and slogans, combined with some basic computer-aided randomisation, to create a collaborative digital protest generator.
Participants will also explore hand-drawn lettering and design, looking at the (many) ways letters (and words) carry meaning.
This is limited capacity in-person event.
