Thinking with Materials: Tactile Experiment Workshop
Lead Artist & Founder of Atölye Dam | Collaboration with Ayşegül Evcim
"Conducted under the leadership of Atölye Dam (Aynur Tıkıroğlu) in collaboration with Ayşegül Evcim as the project facilitator, this workshop focuses on developing expressive practices through senses, the body, and materiality. Moving beyond seeing design as a purely mental process, the project aims to experience bodily awareness and intuitive pathways of production.
Participants engage with diverse textures, forms, and material resistances to externalize their internal dialogues. The process culminates in a collective installation, where individual experiments transform into a shared narrative. This shift from personal experience to collective manifestation emphasizes the healing and transformative power of 'thinking together' through tangible touch. The project invites participants from diverse backgrounds to rediscover their creative voice through the primal language of materials."
