Saturday Family Workshop

Five Years From Now is a collage-based Saturday Family Workshop that invites participants to imagine the future through feeling, intuition, and visual exploration rather than fixed plans. Inspired by the artistic language of Tyeb Mehta, whose paintings transform fragments, divisions, and simplified forms into powerful emotional images, this workshop encourages families to think about how inner experiences can be expressed through shape, colour, and composition.

Participants will work with everyday paper materials such as receipts, printed text, coloured sheets, and found fragments, cutting, arranging, and layering them into a single unified artwork. As pieces are separated and brought together in new relationships, families will explore how images can hold ideas about change, uncertainty, hope, and possibility. Much like Mehta’s practice, where forms are reduced and reorganised to create tension and clarity, this process reveals how simple visual elements can carry complex emotional meaning.

Rather than creating a literal plan for the future, the final collage becomes an intuitive visual projection, a space where thoughts, memories, and aspirations take form. Through this process, participants will discover how assembling fragments can lead to new connections, and how art can help us reflect on where we are and where we might be going.
