Peisen Ding

Join our fun and free art workshops at Branscombe House to explore various meanings of home through artmaking!

Branscombe House

The 2024 Branscombe House Artist-in-Residence, Peisen Ding, is launching their community-based art project called “(Be) Coming Home”. The title has dual meanings: “Becoming Home” signifies Peisen’s personal journey of finding belonging as a queer immigrant from China; “Coming Home” shows an invitation to the public to engage with the project at the Branscombe House, finding a sense of home. Throughout 2024, the artist will invite local residents to participate as collaborators to tell their definitions of home and co-create a home-like installation through various activities, aiming to build a public sense of an inclusive, shared, and caring community.This art workshop series is the first part of the residency's public program for Richmond residents and visitors. It consists of workshops, such as drawing, painting, collage, and crafting.
