Join us for a hands-on workshop using collage and generative AI to explore identity, history and memory
Autograph
Rivington Place
London EC2A 3BA, UK
Tickets for this event will go live on 3 November. Register with Eventbrite for a reminder when tickets launch.
The ticket price for this event includes materials. Bring your own photographs to work with or use images in our collection.
Artist Sabrina Tirvengadum utilises generative AI as a tool to fill in gaps in her family history and explore ideas of identity, and memory. To reconstruct her family album, she trained an AI model on the photographs that exist in her personal
archive and wider extended family network, prompting generative AI to visualise her family’s lost history. These works will be on display in Autograph's upcoming exhibition I Still Dream of Lost Vocabularies.
The artist will lead this hands-on workshop, guiding you through her own creative practice and working together with analogue collage methods through to generative image making. You will experiment with creative making to consider the stories we carry, the ones we lose and how we try to understand them in the present.
All materials will be provided and you are encouraged to bring a selection of photographs to include in the collage, alternatively you can use images in Autograph’s archive that will be provided on the day. You’ll get to take home your collages and receive a digital copy of your generated image.
This event is part of the Methods of Making series, exploring the expansive nature of collage through creative practice.
The ticket price for this event is £10. No one will be turned away for lack of funds. If this ticket price is unaffordable for you, please get in touch with Harriet at harriet@autograph-abp.co.uk about free ticketing options.
Sabrina is a British Mauritian visual artist based in London, working across collage, digital illustration, generative AI art, graphics, film and photography. Her artistic practice is a reflection of her diverse background, weaving together her rich cultural heritage and personal experiences.
Rooted in her family history in Mauritius and influenced by the impacts of colonialism, Tirvengadum’s art explores the intricacies of identity, relationships and the human experience.
With a background in Photographic Arts from the University of Westminster and years of experience as a graphic designer, Tirvengadum’s artistic journey is one of continuous exploration and growth. As the founder of We’re All Human, Tirvengadum strives to promote inclusivity in digital spaces, using her art as a powerful tool to challenge and disrupt ableist systems in both her culture and Western society.
