Unlock your photographic memories to explore photography and sound with Taiwanese Artist Milee (Feng-Ru) Lee. In an era where we are consuming images more than food in the fastest way ever, we will be looking at ways to make photos speak for themselves and others. For this digital photography workshop, all you will need is a mobile phone with a camera!

No photography experience needed.

This event is for 15-25 year olds.

Milee (Feng-Ru) Lee's practice is rooted in her Far-East Asian Cultural background. Her work crosses a range of different media and incorporates video, two-dimensional works, performance and installation, often with an interdisciplinary and participatory approach that brings the audience into the artwork.

'Milee the Sheep' is Lee's alter ego which explores notions of how cloning and genetic engineering reshaped the world in the manmade orders. Lee explores ideas that centre on the unfixed status of transitional identities and migration between cultures and humanity, whilst also addressing notions of the materialisation of objects and beings.

What happens now after globalisation? With climate justice and sustainable futures in mind, Lee experiments pitching points together, reinvestigating subjects such as Eastern philosophy, mythology, Western science and beliefs that may at once seem immediately differential but hold intrinsically deep and thought-provoking debates.
