Educators Open House 2023 | Speculations in Artistic Research and Practice

Activity: Conference/talk/lecture/symposium/speech/workshop, etcEvent organized by non-HKBU units

Description

Building on their first collaboration with AAA, where they co-taught a Studio Graphic Design course at Hong Kong Baptist University’s Academy of Visual Arts in 2023, Pat Wing Shan Wong and Heesun Seo lead this session to show how illustration and graphic design can be employed as research tools to engage with archival materials.

Rubber Stamp Workshop | Collecting and Re-imagining
Led by Pat Wing Shan Wong

Participants will collect segments of archival materials to create three alternative rubber stamps through research, image iteration, and visual creation. They will use the stamps to create new narratives and use them in the subsequent bookbinding workshop.

Bookbinding Workshop | Combining and Curating
Led by Heesun Seo

Participants will first learn about the structure, layout, and materials of books from AAA’s Library Collections, then experiment with non-traditional materials to create innovative bindings for paper. Through hands-on activities and a combination of theory and practical experimentation, the workshop aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of book design and the skills to create your own distinctive designs.
