Making Time: an experimental RISO Workshop

Onomatopee

A day-long low-cost course where we explore risograph printing methods for material meaning. No experience necessary.

“We are accustomed to thinking of time as the ticking of the clock, a repeating round of numbers and measurements. But time is also made up of relationships, experienced as cycles and rhythms woven from a matrix of ecological processes interacting in continuous collaboration. Modern technology has subdued our instinct to create time together with the Earth, yet our bodies are built to be in conversation with our ecosystem, responding to the world around us via internal clocks. When we attune to the pulses within and around us, time can become an experience of kinship.” - Emergence Magazine This risograph workshop invites you to explore and visualize ways of considering time through the experimental process of a layered print. Drawing from alternative knowledge systems, we will question constructed understandings of time and investigate how it is felt, remembered, and imagined through our earthly experiences. We will spend the morning drinking coffee and tea and discussing time as a design method. During this conversation, we will introduce prompts and ways of archiving your own temporality. We will talk about different artists who thicken, reposition, and visualize time. We will touch on earth time, deep time, kinship time, queer time, crip time, and more ways of understanding, interpreting our world by thinking differently about time.In the afternoon, through layering and the materiality of the risograph, we’ll give form to pasts, presents, and possible futures, tracing how time flows through and around us. The texture and transparencies of color will allow for time to be intermixed, rewoven, and we will talk about the hierarchy of those layers and how they might lend itself to the meaning of the print.No risograph or design experience necessary. You are welcome to bring premade drawings or designs to experiment with. This course is taught by Moran Smithwick, Onomatopee's visiting summer intern from Goldsmiths College London's MA Expanded Practice program.
