Explore image transfers, memory, and identity in this hands-on workshop with artist Mirae kh RHEE
Join artist Mirae kh RHEE for a hands-on photo and image transfer workshop inspired by her solo exhibition Mirae kh RHEE: Constellations, on view at MOPA@SDMA June 21, 2025–January 4, 2026. In this special workshop with the artist, participants will create fabric collages that explore the relationship between place, memory, and identity. Learn about photo transfers using a gel medium process and expand your art making skills. Participants are invited to bring and incorporate their personal black-and-white laser-print images relating to ancestry. Personal photos should be no larger than the size of a postcard.
This workshop welcomes individuals and families, including those who may not have a direct line to their past. Through the act of transferring images onto cloth, we’ll honor the stories we carry and the constellations of kin—real or imagined—that shape who we are.
Please join us promptly at the MOPA@SDMA entrance. Reservations are required. All materials are provided. This is a pay-what-you-wish event.
Great for artists of all ages, Community Art Workshops invite artists to enjoy hands-on art making experiences inspired by the thinking and creating processes of artists on view at the Museum.
