During Eastman Cheng’s Breathe Residency with us, the artist will be working with a local Cheetham Hill women’s group, to create soft sculptural pieces based around the women’s views about the city they live in.
Eastman will be working alongside a number of local artists and students throughout June, and the works created in the workshops will be exhibited as part of the Asia Triennial Manchester next September. These workshops are just the first phase of three trailblazer projects that will be taking place between now and the 2011 festival.
The project aims to create opportunities for local Asian communities to share ideas and skills with both local and international artists, and looks set to result in a series of wonderful collaborative works.
