Elements of BMC: Intuitive Photography and Collage Workshop
July 12, 2025 @ 12:00 pm - 1:30 pm
$15
ELEMENTS OF BMC is a workshop series that explores the fundamental parts of creative practice at Black Mountain College, highlighting a range of artistic mediums and techniques. The series investigates the role of these elements in shaping the college’s legacy and lasting influence on contemporary art. Join us for an intuitive photography and collage workshop with Anna Helgeson. Please register if you plan to attend.
About the Workshop:
We are all haunted; by ideas, history, ancestors (biological and otherwise), and by animating forces we can not quite explain. This workshop will welcome the possibility of collaborating with these mysterious forces.
Participants will be led through a guided meditation (which is nothing to be afraid of) before going on an intuitive photo walk around downtown Asheville. We will then return to BMC Museum + Art Center to create collages based on the photographic discoveries collected. There is no right or wrong way to engage with this workshop, unless you allow ideas of right and wrong to control your actions, which would clearly be wrong.
No photography experience necessary. Any image capturing device will work, including your phone, a point and shoot camera, a fancy DSLR.
