"Sunday School: Creatures of the Underworld" Workshop. A workshop by Venus Patel as part of the Artist-Initiated Projects at Pallas Projects Studios.
_______________
Delving deeper into the thematic nature of "Monsters of the Apocalypse", this workshop will be an immersive, reimagining of Sunday School, implementing tactics of childhood education with an approach to religion.
Lasting for about an hour and half, it will consist of 5 short periods: story time, craft making, music learning, game-time, and finishing with a prayer and reflection period. Mess around, have fun, play with each other, and learn more about the fantastical world of monstrousness.

Venus Patel
Venus Patel is an experimental film and performance artist based in Dublin. She was born in Los Angeles with a BA in Fine Art from TU Dublin. In 2022, her short film, Eggshells won the Taylor Art Award from the RDS Visual Art Awards, was shown as part of the Gaze Film Festival, and exhibited for Periodical Review 12: Practical Magic with Pallas Projects. She has recently performed and collaborated in the making of “Privilege: The Musical”, and “Hive City Legacy: Dublin” as part of the Dublin Fringe Festival 2022, as well as being put forward for the Future Generation Art Prize 2022 by its Irish partner platform Pallas Projects Studios.
Patel’s work concerns her experience as a trans femme of colour, trying to navigate the world. Through the use of costuming and loose gender expression, she encapsulates the campy blend of her queer identity. Venus questions the heteronormative society we live in, why the need to conform is so heavily enforced, and how that affects the perceptions of ourself, others, and the world around us. Although her work deals with serious subject matter, she utilises a unique mix of humour, absurdity, and abjection to create multi-faceted performances and experiences.

Character Creation Workshop. A workshop by Daniel Tuomey as part of the Artist-Initiated Projects at Pallas Projects Studios.
_______________
Daniel Tuomey will run a character creation workshop exploring the participants’ experiences and feelings about the area they live in. "We will look for places that speak to you, and try to figure out who it is that’s speaking."
The workshop is dedicated to 15-18-year-olds
The workshop starts with the familiar video game process of character creation. However instead of thinking about yourselves (the “player characters”) you will focus on the construction of “non player characters”: the repetitive, exaggerated, strange and broken things we bounce ourselves off as we go about our day. Using methods that Daniel developed while making his game “Is Registration Possible”, you will assemble a cast of weird characters who haunt or possess the street corners, postboxes, problems and peculiarities of the Coombe and the Liberties.
The workshop will focus on collage, drawing and storytelling. Each participant will begin by identifying familiar places that always spark certain thoughts or feelings in them. Through collage and experimental writing we will give a shape, a face and a name to these thoughts. By the end you will have a range of these characters spread across the map, and will begin to consider what kind of community we are assembling.”

Daniel Tuomey
Daniel Tuomey was born in Dublin, and currently lives and works in Rotterdam. His work stages the political and discursive consequences of formal gestures, exploring how hegemonic masculinity constructs itself through an attempted mastery of space and storytelling. He articulates points of crisis and vulnerability in this edifice, building fragile narrative installations with foundations in drawing, architecture and moving image.
Tuomey received his MFA from the Piet Zwart Institute, Rotterdam in 2017. He has exhibited internationally, with recent long term research projects exhibited in solo exhibitions in an other world (2022) and Available & the Rat (2021) (both Rotterdam). His work has featured in Y O U N G F O S S I L (IMMA, 2022), and The Corona (VISUAL Carlow, 2021), as well as online as part of the WET Film Collective’s screening programme (2021). The work of the Postpeople (his collaborative project with Tracy Hanna) has been featured on the online multimedia album Triple Pocket Napkin Fold (2022), and they regularly gig in Rotterdam, run electives at the Willem de Kooning Academie, Rotterdam (2019-present) and host a biweekly programme on Radio Worm (2021-present).
