We would like to invite you to Unearthing: undercurrents: a workshop in which participants are invited to create multi-layered artworks from recycled plastic, reflecting on the many facets of water – from natural ecosystems and human presence to pollution and environmental changes.

The evening begins with an artist talk by Roger Anis, one of the artists in our exhibition Positions: Unearthing. For this program, Anis has invited Egyptian artist Ammar Abo Bakr, who has been collaborating with Roger Anis on the Nile Parade project from the very beginning. Together with the participants, Ammar Abo Bakr will guide the process of transforming recycled plastic into layered visual compositions. Plastic, a material that pollutes rivers and oceans, becomes both the medium and the message here. Through this collective process, participants create a joint artwork that reflects our relationship with water. At the end of the workshop, the individual pieces can be combined into a collective installation, forming a visual “river” composed of many perspectives, stories, and experiences.

The design utilizes recycled plastic from the organization VeryNile and from the Dutch local area. Doors open at 6:00 PM, and we begin the program with a shared vegetarian meal.

Unearthing: undercurrents is organized as part of the public program of Positions: Unearthing, on view until May 3 at Stroom Den Haag.
