UPCOMING: BE/COM/ING A MONUMENT Guided by Czar Kristoff Hosted by Shutterspace Studios, Fotomoto.PH and Fotobaryo

When: July 15, 2023, Saturday, 1-6PM

Where: Shutterspace Studios, 175 Citigold Plaza, Katipunan Ave, Quezon City https://goo.gl/maps/m3asFLgyuuE8Vrte8

What: Monuments are generally constructed to commemorate a significant event or person. Their presence is also used to navigate a city, a town, a place. Urban monuments reflect how our ancestors used trees, mountains, and rivers as landmarks to remember their way. What would happen if monuments suddenly moved? How do you think we would identify locations or arrive to destinations? How could we become navigators without monuments? 

In this workshop*, we will explore how/why/when monuments are built, maintained, polished, celebrated, forgotten, demolished, and redefined through a series of mapping exercises and interventions, banderitas making, and karaoke. Register here: https://forms.gle/jJR1bdyKCadvnrjb7
