Make Your Mark: Artist Workshop with Z’otz* Collective
Take part in this playful collaborative drawing workshop with exhibiting artist, the Z’otz* Collective!
Using pencil crayons, markers, and collage materials, participants will create whimsical creatures and scenes through fast-paced, imaginative exercises. As drawings are passed around the table, each person adds arms, legs, silly faces, and unexpected twists. Then together, you’ll invent delightfully quirky titles.
Open to all ages and skill levels.
| About the Exhibition |
This summer, the Varley Art Gallery presents the Z’otz* Collective, a multidisciplinary trio composed of Nahúm Flores, Erik Jerezano, and Ilyana Martínez.
Of Latin American heritage, they merge drawing, painting, ceramics, and animation to create playful, storytelling-driven works that blend tradition with contemporary experimentation. Their art features bold lines, surreal imagery, and hybrid creatures inspired by mythologies, fables, and Pre-Hispanic art forms. Since 2004, the Collective has developed a unique communal process, passing works between members to build layered, evolving compositions.
Between the Current and the Echo foregrounds the Z’otz* Collective’s commitment to co-creation, rejecting the notion of the solitary artist in favour of a collaborative, ever-evolving process rooted in spontaneity and exchange.
