Anchored, Drifting with Rossy Liu

'Anchored, Drifting' is a wind-inspired workshop, led by Rossy Liu, that uses KITE as both a symbol and a playful medium for storytelling for people who have moved to the Netherlands from afar and are navigating life here, exploring the layered experience of diaspora. A kite is always in-between: tethered to a place, but drifting somewhere else. Together, we’ll reflect on migration not as a story of where we come from, but as an ongoing, fluid process of where we are right now; and the uncertainties, possibilities, and transformations that come with it.

During the workshop, participants can reflect on their everyday relationship with the city through simple mapping and visual exercises, participants can then develop a visual idea and translate these impressions into a personal kite design. You will learn the technical skills of kite-making and create your own kite with guidance and assistance. No previous art or making experience is required.
