TYEB MEHTA Bearing Weight FEATURED EVENTS

This Artist in Me workshop invites participants to explore how spaces are experienced as layered environments shaped by memory, movement, and perception. Led by M. Pravat, whose practice engages with the city as fragmented and constantly evolving, the session approaches the urban landscape as something constructed as much from lived experience as from physical form.

Drawing inspiration from the structural clarity and emotional intensity in TYEB MEHTA’s work, participants will work with drawing, paper, and collage to build compositions that move between observation and imagination. Through guided prompts, they will translate personal memories into visual fragments, layering, cutting, and reassembling forms to explore how repetition, interruption, and placement shape meaning.

As the process unfolds, participants reflect on how images can hold multiple layers simultaneously, where external structures and internal responses intersect. The workshop encourages a process-driven approach, balancing making with reflection, and allowing ideas to evolve both individually and collectively.

Designed for adults, the session offers an open-ended space to engage with material, memory, and perception, exploring how we see, remember, and reconstruct the spaces we inhabit.
