From the plush toy that accompanied you as bedtime stories lulled you to sleep to the novelty magnets bought during a family vacation, what personal belongings do you think of when you hear the word ‘family’?
The workshop is developed from Growing Pillars, the M+ Facade commission created by the Indonesian artist collective Tromarama. M+ Educators invite adults and children alike to collaborate and create a short stop-motion animation, as well as share their family memories with a personal object. Drawing inspiration from Tromarama’s artistic practice, participants can create their own animation using their personal items and printed photos.
Facing Victoria Harbour, M+ Facade is a unique outdoor display of the M+ building and showcases nightly screening of moving image works made by creators around the world. Created by Tromarama, Growing Pillars, the latest commission for M+ Facade, features objects, video clips, and photographs from their personal archives to compose these materials into a filmic movement overlaid by animated objects from their childhood homes, evoking the intimacy of home and the intricacy of memory.
