Collage city is the title of a series of workshops on the relationship between people and place (landscape) with Rauma high school learners held in Autumn 2007 and Spring 2008. We investigated this theme on a practical level by re-using discarded cultural residue (in this case old postcards of Rauma), and collage. During the workshop students made new images of Rauma suited to their image/experience/memory of their home town by collaging cut fragments of the old postcards.
Rauma Water Tower, Postcards by Luseo school learners, 2007.
This spring the workshop continues. The focus will now shift to collaboration and the notion of Rauma as a shared landscape. The theme of collage and recycling will be taken a step further. The students will make a sculptural ‘collage’ by selecting parts of their postcard images and building them three-dimensionally out of discarded cardboard packaging and magazines.
