Becoming Bats: Mask Workshop

Learn how to build a mask! 

We will build a mask of a bat species and pay tribute to the bats and their fight for survival in our time of biodiversity crisis.

 

About the workshop:

The mask workshops are divided into two parts: 1) Building the mask. Then it needs to dry. 2) Painting the mask.

If you are only able to participate the first day, you can bring the mask with you and paint it at home.

REMEMBER TO BRING A BIKE HELMET. We will use it as a base to build the mask.

ALL OTHER MATERIALS WILL BE PROVIDED. If you do not have a bike helmet, please write and we will find one for you.

You can use the mask for performances, actions, demonstrations, halloween, celebration days as Biodiversity Day or Earth Day or for our summer solstice June the 21st where we will have our bat walk around Damhussøen. 

You can prepare at home and think about what bat species you would like to make a mask of. Otherwise, there will be a book of pictures of bats that you can look through to find your bat species.

Facilitator Linh has learned the mask building technique by mask builder Randi Kjær


Dates & Times:

Part I: Saturday June the 14th at 13.00-17.00

Part II: Wednesday June the 18th at 15.00-19.00

About the Artist:

Linh Le (she / her) works with performative activism and fights for a just world for life on earth. At the moment, she explores the sensuousness and philosophy of species, making rituals for the diversity of life.

Linh Le is of a new generation of artists who with their own bodies are exploring the possibility of finding a balance between a growing desperation in a world of polycrisis and maintaining the belief in a different way of being human / species.

As a child of freedom fighters who came to Denmark as boat refugees from Vietnam, and as a witness to their struggles in Danish society, Linh Le is strongly called to free herself through dance, to challenge the norms, to transcend boundaries and explore how the body can act, transform and demand space for the less heard voices.

Linh Le is educated in Aesthetics and Culture from Aarhus University and Performance Design & Planning from Roskilde University. She is co-founder and member of the performance climate activist group Becoming Species which in close alliance with Extinction Rebellion and Embassy of the Species Copenhagen has made several performative actions in public space to amplify nature’s diverse voices.

Linh Le is also a member of Dance Cooperative, an artist-run platform and association with a physical work- and event space in Valby Copenhagen, organized by 14 local performance artists.

Bat Calligraphy: Calligraphy Workshop

We will paint the spectograms of bats with ink. A spectogram is the visualization of bat sounds. The spectograms look like lines but vary in their form. The art of calligraphy says that you can practice all your life doing one line. One line is very rich just like the one sound of a bat. While we paint, we will listen to their screams and see their screams portrayed on a screen.

This space will be a concentrated room where we can go deep into a meditative state of repetition. 

Ink and paper will be provided.
