This event, titled 'RE:FWD: Zine Bread Buffet', features a talk with artists Sophie Soobramanien and Shreya de Souza about their special edition zine inspired by the 'RE:FWD' exhibition. The workshop explores themes of hope and hopelessness, drawing on various thinkers and ideas to build critical, active hope.
The 'RE:FWD: Zine Bread Buffet' is an event designed as a workshop and loose reading group, led by artists Sophie Soobramanien and Shreya de Souza. They will discuss their special edition zine, 'Slippery Hope,' which was created for and inspired by the 'RE:FWD' exhibition. The workshop, themed 'Slippery Hope,' delves into personal road maps for fostering a critical, active, and error-embracing hope in the current moment, referencing thinkers like Bell Hooks and Amílcar Cabral. Sophie and Shreya typically research current social themes and translate academic findings into low-budget, self-designed zines. For 'RE:FWD,' their new 'Bread Buffet' edition, 'Slippery Hope,' is inspired by Rebecca Solnit's 'Hope in the Dark' and Mariame Kaba's 'Hope is a Discipline,' adding a substantive layer to the exhibition. Participants are invited to enter the exhibition with the artists and discuss their findings.
