PARTICIPATE:
Chasing the Dragon:
A Mythical Creature-Making Workshop
Join artist Funa Ye for a playful, hands-on workshop where families are invited to create their own mythical creatures inspired by dragon legends from both China and the UK.
This activity draws from Funa’s ongoing exploration of folk rituals, digital folklore, and the way ancient symbols take on new lives in contemporary youth culture. Participants will use repurposed cardboard, fabric, and paper to craft fantastical creatures. At the end of the workshop we will take our mythical creatures to the streets for a parade towards nearby ‘Van Gogh Walk’.
All children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Booking essential.
28 September 10am–12.30pm
San Mei Gallery, 39a Loughborough Road, SW9 7TB
Funa Ye [she/they] born in Kunming, Yunnan, is an artist and researcher who lives and works in London and Beijing. Her practice critically engages with the realities of daily life and the perceived nexus between authority and various societal domains, such as differing power structures and margin groups. Her politically charged art uses pastiche to critique and satirize cultural uniformity.
