Join Julie Ha and Panda Wong in ‘dreaming with dogs’, a two-part workshop series that focuses on dogs as subjects, collaborators and companions. Guided by a pup’s perspective, how can we imagine the world in new ways?

To quote Donna Haraway in The Companion Species Manifesto, ‘...dogs are not surrogates for theory; they are not here just to think with. They are here to live with…’ The first workshop will be a dog-focused reading group, where we will discuss dogs’ potential as artistic collaborators and their significance as our closest companion species. The second workshop will be a doggy life drawing session led by local artist Lorilee Yang.

You are welcome to BYO dog, but please ensure that they are vaccinated, well-behaved and on a leash at all times for the safety of all pups and people.

Readings will be sent out beforehand in a document, printed versions will also be available at the workshop.


All materials will be provided. Places will be capped at 15 per workshop.
