Sign Making Workshop: Taeyoon Choi
Los Angeles Contemporary Archive (LACA)
11am - 1pm
FREE
There’s something profoundly fulfilling about making your own signs and protesting in the streets. Handwritten signs are personal and compelling. Signs can become an interface between crowd and city, a device to intervene in the public space and a tool for counter-narrative to the mainstream media. Sign making is an artistic form of social engagement. Sign Making Workshop is a chance to think about your message, time to bring voice to your thoughts and give body to your message. It is also a chance to learn from people with different views and priorities. In this workshop, we will reflect on protest signs we’ve seen recently and talk about different ways of creating a simple and effective sign. We will ask the following questions. How do you make signs that start a dialogue, instead of shouting a message in one direction? How do you encapsulate complex messages and emotions into a unique sign? How can we bring artistic practice closer to an activist praxis? Through hands-on, step by step activities, we will progress from writing initial concept to sketching designs. We will create personal protest signs and have a group discussion in the end.
