Artist Talk and Workshops at Stanford Arts Institute

I’m a Visiting Artist at Stanford Arts Institute this month, giving an artist talk and leading 2 workshops: https://arts.stanford.edu/arts-institute/stephanie-shih/

Public Lecture Artist Talk: Cross-modal Conversations:
Semiotic Context in Art & Language
3–4PM, Friday, 7 February 2025

Workshop: Bouba Kiki Scavenger Hunt
1–3PM, Saturday, 8 February 2025
Explore cross-modality connections
between language and the world around us. We’ll start by learning about
features in spoken languages–how sounds are produced and perceived–and
explore their symbolic relationships with objects and categories in the
world. Then we’ll walk around campus to “scavenge” for sound symbolic
patterns, which will be used for a collective bouba/kiki collage.

Workshop: Your Still Lifes
1–3PM, Sunday, 9 February 2025
Learn about how still lifes are
powerful mediums for telling personal narratives and create your own
mini still life composition together in small groups. Bring a personal
item of significance to incorporate into your still life photo, which
you will make with the artist in a still life photobooth.
