Opsis Architecture invites you to an evening where everyone's creativity is welcome.
The evening will begin with an art-based workshop where participants will devise a collective tapestry together. They will explore themes of connection and memory through various media stations: watercolor, graphite, found objects and more! The crowd-sourced mosaic will be displayed in the Opsis 920 gallery and will be followed by a panel that will discuss the role of interactive public art and how it can foster meaningful human connections.
The panel will discuss the role of interactive public art and how it can foster meaningful human connections. They will discuss various layers of the process, from community building, participation, collaboration, and involvement, along with a presentation of the project: from developing the concept, music, and graphics, storyboarding, animation, and augmented reality to the final execution of the mural and the public unveiling at Pride 2022.
They'll also talk about how the mural was received, and what they hope to accomplish in the future.
This discussion is for anyone interested in mural-making, LGBTQIA+ community involvement, and augmented reality!
