Dive into the vast, whispering depths of the ocean, where the sea’s endless inspiration awakens your creative spirit. Led by artist Gisèle Tchitchiama, who paints freedom through color and gesture and shapes memory with her hands, this program begins with an artist talk, followed by an interactive collage workshop, inviting you to explore the ocean’s enduring themes of identity, memory, and care through both reflection and making.

In the talk, you will explore the creative and collaborative journey behind Memoria of the Sea. The session traces the evolution of the installation and examines the intersection of sustainability and reclaimed materials, the power of teamwork, and the ways art connects with community memory and maritime identity. By bringing together making and meaning, this program offers a balanced experience of artistic practice and conceptual insight, allowing you to take home your own personal “voice of the sea.”

This will be followed by a workshop, where you will transform sustainable and recycled materials, including bamboo, plastic, rope, and paper, into poetic artworks of your own, crafting small fish or vibrant sea creatures. No prior experience is required. Let your intuition guide you as you learn to listen to the unique textures of the materials and embrace the ocean’s rich diversity through hands-on creation.

The talk will be led by Gisèle Tchitchiama, who will also facilitate the workshop, with Polly Chow, Head of Marketing and Community Education at HART HAUS, serving as moderator.
