In this workshop, Ezzam Rahman will be conducting a series of performative exercises through simple interactions with selected everyday familiar objects to amplify the relationships between the body and materials mindfully. The aim is to slow down and reflect own these bodily actions.

Participants will be given a complementary goodie bag which contains a limited edition DE:VOTED poster, stickers and material traces of the exhibition.

ABOUT DE:VOTED

A love letter to devotion and intimacy, an ode to togetherness, an homage to the claustrophobia of surveillance capitalism... DE:VOTED is an immersive mashup of light, sound, performance and technology by 7 Singaporean artists and 2 Japanese artists. DE:VOTED’s sense of evolving communality will play out through programme of workshops, guided tours, and space activations. Set-up, presentation, and deinstallation will be dissected and opened up in a single continuous gesture over seven days.
