Contribute to the upcoming HeARTburn gallery exhibition and connect to the Burning Man principle of ‘radical self-expression’.

HeARTburn invites you to explore identity in a culture of radical freedom of expression, inclusion and participation, while developing wearable festival art. These beautiful creations can hang in the artsPlace gallery for the HeARTburn exhibition OR be worn to the festival itself!

SAT. NOV. 9, SESSION 1: Exploration of radial self-expression and wearable art concepts.

Brainstorm and explore ideas of expression and identity through wearable art. Create a mood board using colour, texture, material, shape, emotion, figure, form, and personality. Use this to develop your plan for your art piece and decide on what part of the body you will be creating it to adorn.

SAT. NOV. 23, SESSION 2: Structure and base piece creation.

Use found, made, sculpted, sewn, glued or re-purposed items to create the base for your wearable art. Let your imagination run wild as decide how you will decorate it. Will your piece have moving features? Lights?

SAT. NOV. 30, SESSION 3: Decorating.

With your base structure created we’ll decorate your wearable art piece. Have fun working on the details of your creation, using a selection of materials to complete your masterpiece!
