Tasmeem Doha 2019 runs March 13 to 15, and this time the biennial art and design conference will host a bevy of student-created workshops. The program known as Next Jeel—translated to Next “Generation” in Arabic—empowers students to take a lead role in education. There will be 10 three-hour workshops in total, with five conducted by VCUarts students traveling to Doha, Qatar, from Richmond.
Emily Kuchenbecker, a Craft + Material Studies graduate student, will lead the sold-out workshop “Layered Stories.”
“Layered Stories” is an exercise in self-reflection, as participants explore layered collaging on sheet glass to create deep, surreal narrative stories about themselves. Through cutting and pasting of magazine clippings, words, and personal photographs onto glass, they will utilize glass’s inherent transparent quality and create multi-layered and multi-dimensional collages. Participants may start with a portrait of their face, or work abstractly to create a narrative through found cut-and-pasted imagery directly onto the glass.
