Penny Slinger in conversation + collage workshop

8 Nov 2023 6-8pm

Overview

Juxtaposing images, ideas and symbols in shocking combinations, Penny Slinger's collages emerged in reaction against the shortchanging of women's sexual experiences. Setting the scene for the collage workshop, Slinger will be joined in conversation with Rachel Ashenden as they explore the revolutionary potential of Surreal Eroticism. 

You are invited to participate in a collage workshop with the theme of Surreal Eroticism. How do we express the erotic sentiment in ways that show the inner landscape of sensuality? Rather than being defined and limited by the obvious body parts that participate in the erotic arena, this workshop seeks to plunge beyond the flesh and find surreal imagery that evokes the realm of ecstasy and finds a new language that challenges the status quo and delves into the subconscious to look at what happens inside as much as what is seen on the surface.

Leading up to the workshop we ask participants to meditate on this theme and collect images that could reflect their inner eroticism. Bring the images along to transform them into a collage. We seek to express the hidden secret world within. How do we describe this rich and fertile zone with unexpected association of images? Let's explore together.

Signed copies of Slinger's famous book, 50% The Visible Woman, will be available to purchase at the event.
