Highlights From The Recently Concluded 1-day Collage Workshop by Ana Ogunsanya

Guest Artists Space (G.A.S.) Foundation shares highlights from “In Pieces”, a recently concluded collage workshop by Ana Ogunsanya.

Held on 9 September, 2024, the collage workshop by Ana Ogunsanya, guided participants to explore “personal and cultural histories through mind-mapping and collages” using diverse materials.

To set the stage, the multidisciplinary artist introduced participants to the concept of autoethnography, drawing from the works of famous black female artists Billie Zangewa and Deborah Roberts, who are both known for creating collages that explored memory and identity through fragmented, layered images.

GAS Foundation resident artist, Ana Ogunsanya, walked participants through the workshop sessions.

The presentation featured the works of renowned collage artists, Billie Zangewa and Deborah Roberts.

The presentation was followed by a mind-mapping and collage workshop that enabled participants to introspect and share personal stories through unique art pieces reflecting their identity and background.

Each participant created collage from fabrics, magazines and other materials of choice.

By exploring their personal narratives through collage, participants gained a deeper understanding of themselves and their place within the broader cultural landscape.
