Stewart Island timestamp – paired VR and collage workshop

1. Stewart Island Timestamp
This VR workshop will start with prompts that encourage participants to imagine the region from the perspective of different mythological, historical, non-human, or future human perspectives. It will take place in a virtual environment that is a 360 degree copy of a nearby outdoor area. Participants will then draw in 3D using the Openbrush app on VR to build a constructed memory or imagined place according to the prompts. The activity will be done in pairs – two people will work in the same space at once.

2. Abstract Collage – Portrait Mapping Exercise
Participants will pair up and receive a series of pre-cut paper fragments that fit together with their partner’s like a puzzle. Each person will explore their partner’s memories and inner visual worlds through a series of interview prompts. They will create abstract collages on each fragment based on these insights and then combine their fragments to form a cohesive final piece, representing new connections and visual languages. This workshop will be open to people of different ages and backgrounds and will empower participants to explore their identities and narratives, fostering a sense of ownership over their social contexts.
