This community weekend, we invite you to join us for a series of tours and workshops that explore themes of memory, nostalgia, and play, inspired by Alex Da Corte’s exhibition Ear Worm at MOCA.
Saturday: Polaroid Emulsion Lift with Cruz
Saturday, December 7
In this three-hour workshop led by artist Cruz, participants will explore themes from Da Corte’s Ear Worm by transforming a personal photograph to create a Polaroid emulsion lift.
Email your photograph ahead of time to learning@moca.ca by Friday, December 6, to be printed on specialized paper.
Through this process, the photographic emulsion is removed from an instant print and transferred to paper, where participants will apply collaging techniques to complete their artwork.
Registration is required for this program. After signing up, participants must email their chosen photograph to learning@moca.ca to be printed on the specialized paper needed for the activity.
