During this hands-on workshop, cartoonist Gene Myers will teach you how to develop and draw cartoon characters while delving into basic storytelling techniques. Participants will sketch their own character and be able to develop their own concepts around it. You will also tackle several different ways to create a 'gag' in the cartoon and explore how you can tell a story through powerful images. This experience will jumpstart your creativity and inspire you to discover new ideas in unexpected places. At the end of the class, Gene Myers will raffle away the cartoon drawings he create during the class and the lucky winners will be able to take home cartoons with them!
This workshop is a great introduction to the arts and illustration. It is open to anyone who would like to sign up and try - no previous experience is necessary. It provides a flexible environment designed to help you create you own vision for your cartoon character.

The Freedom of Speech Itself (2012) is the first part of Lawrence Abu Hamdan’s Aural Contract, a body of work that examines the role of the voice in the law. A 30-minute audio documentary maps the use of forensic speechanalysis to process asylum seekers in the UK. In lieu of an in-person interview, a short ten to fifteen-minute recording is examined by speech analysts to determine the veracity of a refugee’s story; do their vowels match those of their hometown? Does their vernacular match their origin? If one syllable is mispronounced, an application might be rejected. The ear of the forensic linguist not only then polices but actively produces borders in the same way as iris scanning and other biometrics do.
Experience the unique exhibition “Infidel” by artist Canyon Castator, a display of new paintings referencing outspoken contemporary themes.
Each Audience member will have the opportunity to enter the room and add to a large collaborative narrative that will be built up over the course of the night. Each participant will be able to add a maximum of 1 minute to the narrative. The intriguing element of this collaboration is that audience members will only be able to listen to the previous recording in order to get a sense of where the narrative has left off. Once all of the narratives have been gathered the pieces will be strung together and scored, participants will be able to listen to the piece on the hecatombe website in the following weeks.
