SCULPTURAL PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOP WITH KAREN ZALAMEA
KAREN ZALAMEA: EVERY SURFACE IS A SHRINE
Led by artist Karen Zalamea, explore how sculptural experiments with photographs can uncover material ways of reshaping and reconstructing our connection to familiar images. The workshop will draw from approaches used in the exhibition Every Surface Is a Shrine and other simple techniques for creating sculptural photography, including cutting, folding, surface distressing, and layering.
Participants are invited to bring 3 to 5 personal photographs (or copies of the photographs) that you are comfortable cutting and altering. Materials such as scissors, adhesives, cardstock, and other basic tools will be supplied.
Free to attend, pre-registration required.
Ages 5+. Children must be accompanied by an adult.
ABOUT THE EXHIBITION
The Gallery at Evergreen Arts is pleased to present Every Surface Is a Shrine, which brings together a selection of photo-based works by Karen Zalamea that traces the shifting boundaries between material, memory and place. Rooted in a critical exploration of photography’s expanded possibilities, Zalamea’s practice reimagines the medium not only as an image-making tool but as a methodology of care, labour and cultural inquiry.
This exhibition is part of the 2026 Capture Photography Festival Selected Exhibition Program. Photo credit: Karen Zalamea
