Women Making It Special: Writing, Origami, and Activism
For this Women Making It Special we will be joined by writer and artist Alexandra Compton for a special event combining writing, origami, and activism.
Inspired by her installation, In the Folds, Alexandra will be guiding a series of writing exercises inspired by newspaper headlines, before showing you how to fold your own origami paper cranes.
During the event, Alexandra will be discussing the inspiration behind her installation, as well as the origins or papercrafting and origami and the significance of the newspaper headlines to her work.
After writing your work onto the cranes and folding them, what will still be visible and what will have been lost in the folds?
