Creating paper flowers with Razalina Busel
The work
Mourning Morning is part of
Razalina Busel's long-term project Borders and Restrictions, in which the artist processes her experiences of migration and resettlement. In her work, black carnations symbolize mourning and borderline situations, such as the end of a life in one place and a new beginning in another.

This workshop will show how to create carnations from simple materials such as crepe paper and wire. Visitors will be guided through the creative process with step-by-step instructions and given the opportunity to design their own carnation as a symbol of grief and sorrow or other emotions. While the flowers are being made, all participants are invited to reflect on tragic moments and difficulties they are currently facing.
All materials will be provided for the workshop participants.
