FRAMTIDERNE: Sculpting symbols with Kamil Kak

Between 16 and 26 years old? Join us for a very special Framtiderne workshop, spanning two evenings!

This workshop will inform Kamil Kak’s research for their artwork in the upcoming exhibition Tragedy of the Commons.

Join us for the immersive workshop, blending the art of typography with hands-on crafting. Dive into the world of visual communication as we explore the creation of enduring symbols through type design. Participants will engage in interactive polls to inspire their own unique designs, transitioning into definite creations using self-drying clay and vibrant inks.

This session is a journey through the theoretical aspects of communication and a playful exploration of how we can shape messages that resonate across time. Join us for a creative exploration that bridges craftsmanship, design theory, and a touch of fun!

Kamil Kak is an artist based in Oslo and Berlin, navigating the intersections of queer liberation, immigrants’ experiences, and the fragility of recent historical narratives. The multidimensional approach in their process captures diverse statements and preserves untold stories. Their work urges audiences and participators to engage with and reflect on pressing social issues. Kak’s artistic practice intersects with activism, uses exaggeration and bittersweet humor as a strategy for social transformation, and probes utopian visions of the world.
