All participants, divided into groups of 3 to 5 people<\/p>\n
This exercise is inspired by \u201cpopular\u201d artistic and activist practices that combine text and image. Banners and collages both come from practices often used by marginalized groups, making use of materials that are inexpensive and easily accessible.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” header_2_font=”|700|||||||” header_2_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Banners and collages allow participants to give visual form to the collective thoughts and analysis that have emerged during a creative laboratory or workshop (i.e. through readings, images, debates). The banners and collages can be a first step in a path to collective action or consciousness raising. Each group is invited to choose a format (paper or fabric) and to fill it, shape it, draw on it, or (re)compose it, so as to (re)create a narrative using visual elements along with words, letters, cut-out images, shapes, patterns, textures, colors, etc. Each story is unique, sensitive, and communicates a different perspective. Activist posters, flyers, screen prints, and political graphics can all serve as resources and inspiration. It\u2019s also possible to form an image bank of printed visuals related to the themes discussed.

The banners, usually made of fabric, are designed to take up space and are thus larger than the collages, i.e. two meters by one meter, carried at arm\u2019s length. The banners serve to question the ways narratives circulate in shared or \u201cpublic\u201d spaces. Once the banners and\/or collages are completed, it\u2019s possible to use them in a performative procession. <\/p>\n
