SUMMARY:Open Window Burn - Effigy Construction Days 3
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”183421″]OPEN TO ALL STUDENTS\, STAFF & ALUMNI \nThis three-part build series brings the effigy to life through hands-on making and collective effort. Following the finalisation of the design\, these sessions invite students and lecturers to step into the physical process—shaping\, assembling\, and constructing the structure piece by piece. \nEach event marks a new phase in the build\, from foundational framework to layered detail\, culminating in the completion of the effigy. Emphasising collaboration\, material exploration\, and shared responsibility\, the series transforms concept into form through sustained\, communal practice. \nJoin us across all three sessions as the effigy emerges—crafted through many hands\, and a shared vision. \nTime: 10:00 – 13:00\nVenue: Open Window FAB LAB\, Stellenbosch[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Figure Friday - Remix
DESCRIPTION:OPEN TO ALL STUDENTS\, STAFF & ALUMNI \nFigure Friday – Remix reimagines the traditional figure drawing session by blending observational practice with emerging technologies. This edition introduces a dynamic twist\, incorporating VR and 3D elements into the studio environment—challenging participants to engage with the figure in new\, immersive ways. \nExpect shifting perspectives\, unconventional poses\, and the opportunity to draw not only from life\, but from digitally constructed forms that expand and disrupt the familiar. Whether working in charcoal\, ink\, or pixels\, this session invites you to rethink how the body can be seen\, interpreted\, and translated. \nJoin us for an experimental evening where classical practice meets digital play. \nTime: 10:00 – 13:00\nVenue: Open Window DRAWING LAB\, Stellenbosch \n

SUMMARY:Interrogating the gaze as an avenue towards counter-storytelling
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”394565″] \nCounter-Storytelling: Interrogating the Gaze \nHow do your experiences shape the stories you tell? In this interactive writing workshop\, you’ll explore the power of perspective\, unpack the idea of the “gaze”\, and discover how inherited ways of seeing influence academic writing and creative work. Through thought-provoking discussions\, creative writing exercises\, and collaborative reflection\, you’ll develop practical tools for crafting more intentional\, nuanced\, and authentic stories. Whether you’re a writer\, filmmaker\, designer\, or simply curious about storytelling\, this workshop offers a unique opportunity to challenge the “single story” and rethink the narratives we create. It aims to equip participants with the tools to scrutinise and subvert their own biases. \nSpace is limited to ensure an engaging and interactive workshop. Please RSVP HERE \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
