Shadows in Twin Cities brings together children from Jeonju (Korea) and Melbourne (Australia) in unusual conversations between each other and their city landscapes.
In this participative intercultural workshop, you meet a new friend in Jeonju, Korea via a life-size video screen. Guided by artists in Melbourne and in Jeonju, you’ll discover new and imaginative ways to have a one-on-one exchange involving hand gestures, translated conversation, movement and play.
Next, you’ll each use translucent hand-crafted Hanji paper to create a life-sized drawing of each other, then head outside and animate these forms in the wind.
Discover how your new friend’s translucent shadow takes on a character as it swirls and drifts through the Melbourne air. At the same time, your own shadow will be exploring the landscape in Jeonju, Korea.
