Nomadic Traces: Journeys of Arabian Scripts
Creative Weekend

21-22 June 2019

Warehouse421 is convening a two-day Creative Weekend that will provide new insights into the extensive research and production process that went into the making of the Nomadic Traces: Journeys of Arabian Scripts exhibition [still showing at Warehouse421 until 28 July].

The Creative Weekend features an engaging mix of hands-on workshops and moderated panel discussions that are all open to the public. Topics to be explored include pre-Islamic written cultural heritage and its relevance to contemporary art and design from the region, the role of writing and calligraphy within Islamic material culture, and the potential for art and graphic design to communicate regional cultural narratives.

Pickle Juice: A look into the microcosms of fermentation

Is it true you can actually pickle anything? 

 

This workshop explores the microcosm of fermentation. Through cellular metabolism, the various fruits, vegetables and brine transform into compelling flavours.

It opens up conversation on the basics of fermentation as well as exploring the stages of agitation that change the structure of the ferments over time.
