the opportunity to share their creative skills and knowledge with
participating schools in the region.

response to the surrounding environment.

Art as Alternate: Smart Phones, Self-Critique and
the Everyday
Sally
Molloy is an artist based in Brisbane/Meanjin, Queensland.
Her practice is concerned with locating and critiquing the
everyday forms of colonisation that she contributes to and benefits
from. Molloy responds to her awareness of living white on unceded
Indigenous lands utilising various processes such as collage, painting,
installation, soft sculpture, sound work, and video.
In
this workshop, artist Sally Molloy will step you through how to use
your smartphone as an artistic medium for self-critique. This session
will assist both educators and their students in the various ways to
consider what one can learn from personal experience and how prior
knowledge of culture and society influences our systems of decoding
visual language. With her naïve aesthetic and a tendency toward the
playful, personal, makeshift, and crummy, Molloy and the program
participants will challenge the implied hierarchy of media.
When:
10:00 am - 4:00 pm Sunday 2 October 2022.
Where:
Queensland college of Art, 226 Grey Street, Brisbane
