On the 25th of March, 2025, we hosted a workshop in collaboration with the HOUSE LIGHTS* exhibition in the Whitespace Gallery.
Participants were invited to recall places of importance from their past and recreate them from their memories. We made prints using recycled packaging and tetrapaks to construct a collaborative “Memory town”, with each individual image coming together to form a tapestry of collective memory.
Memory can form new truths that are separate from the moment in which we are remembering. Certain aspects are exaggerated and amplified, others completely omitted, based on what holds emotional significance to us. And so, we become an unreliable narrator in our own story. The workshop aims to confront this head on, allowing unreliability to take physical form through the “Memory town”.
