How do objects carry memories of home? In this hands-on animation workshop, filmmaker Tess Martin invites participants to explore the relationship between time, memory and belonging through replacement animation. Through playful exercises using simple animation techniques, the group’s objects – toys, keys, jewellery, photographs and keepsakes – shall transition surprisingly into each other, revealing how our understanding of home shifts throughout life. 

Bring along a small object that reminds you of home – something meaningful, ordinary, inherited or simply associated with a place or a period in your life. Together, participants will construct a collective series of short stop-motion animations, where their personal objects will transform, accumulate and disappear.

No animation experience required!
