PAST EVENT
Family Saturday: Love is the dream
Join Sally Butcher, artist in residence for Feed, for a family workshop exploring ideas of care that can be seen and not seen, through creative play with words, including wax resist, embossing and lino printing. Participants are invited to respond to the language, colours and textures of Jade de Montserrat’s artwork on Feeding Chair in Ikon’s Resource Room.
About the artist
Sally Butcher is an artist, researcher, activist and (m)other, based in Birmingham. Her interdisciplinary feminist practice draws on lived experience to engage with spheres of subjectivity and embodiment. Butcher’s PhD explores the ‘Invisibilities of (In)fertility between the Medical and the Maternal’ through narrative, language and bodily data.
About Family Saturday
Family Saturday takes place on the first Saturday of every month – join us for a drop-in creative activity, led by a local artist. Open to all ages.
Ikon’s Education Programme is supported by Cass Art. Please consider making a donation for this free activity.
