Mapmaking Workshop w/ Ashley Cook

St. Andrew’s-Wesley is an open-hearted, open-minded, LGBT2Q+  venue and we respectfully acknowledge that we gather on the unceded lands of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and Səl̓ílwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.  Our Mission is ‘to be a light in the heart of the city’ and to be a progressive community committed to justice.

Playing with perspective and your personal story, we will explore making maps that open us to seeing our lives and the world in new ways!

Western culture teaches only one way to make a map while maps in indigenous cultures track totally different ideas of land, water, and life. Playing with perspective and your personal story, we will explore making maps that open us to seeing our lives and the world in new ways! Tuesdays, Oct 36﻿:30-8:30pmThis workshop is free to register but we ask for $5 for supplies, you can pay in-person.Artist Bio: Ashley Cook is a queer, multidisciplinary artist and designer with a keen interest on how we perceive and notice the world through language and metaphors. She works with paper mechanics, charcoal, acrylic painting, block printing, or a combination of these mediums. These workshops focus on shifting perspectives and how we see the world through playing with alternate ways of seeing, mapping, and visualizing the world. When we free ourselves from “one way” of seeing, what possibilities open up for us and for the world? In these workshops you will explore using paper, paint, sketching and other paper-based techniques in a fun and supportive environment.
