Restoring Happiness

Saturday, 23 November, 11:30 am – 3:00 pm

Restoring Happiness is a public maker space where Vipoo Srivilasa invites you to bring a small broken object with personal significance and transform it into an artwork. This interactive experience allows participants to engage in creative restoration under Vipoo’s guidance. Through this process, participants will not only physically repair their items but also explore the emotional journey of healing and personal meaning, highlighting the connection between art, individual stories, and community.

Vipoo will be present to listen to participants' stories, offer creative insights, and demonstrate ways to imbue the restored objects with new significance, transforming the act of repair into a metaphorical journey of healing.

Five people per session.

The sessions will be held at the following times:

● 11:30 am – 12:15 pm

● 1:30 pm – 2:15 pm

● 2:15 pm – 3:00 pm
