“Urban Seam: the Workshop”
with Primary Voice Project

|
Please join the Primary Voice Studio for a workshop on urban gestures to explore the city through new forms of media.
After an introduction to the Urban Seam exhibition, we will discover how gestures speak to our past, present and future. With these thoughts in mind, we will then go for an urban scavenger’s hunt to capture this language of the city. Make sure to bring a camera (or a smartphone)! The gestures you might see could be a vendor selling fruit, a hairdresser cutting hair, a barista making coffee, someone sweeping the street or a teenager dribbling a basketball, among the many on our streets. After this exploration, we will examine our discoveries and discuss what these gestures tell us about Phnom Penh. At the end of this workshop, we look forward to making a collage of our research together that will be displayed in the exhibition. In addition, we will select two ideas from this research to translate into new “workstations” in the Urban Seam exhibition. We will end with a shared lunch and revel in Phnom Penh through new eyes.During this workshop you will collaborate with your fellow citizens to influence the way the Primary Voice Studio presents Phnom Penh across the world.

About Primary Voice
Primary Voice is an interdisciplinary design studio that gives a voice to the invisible inhabitants in cities through interactive media. Started in 2014 by designer and urbanist Mikaela Kvan, the practice bears witness to radical urban transformations by documenting the lives of industrial workers as they move from their rural origins. In collaboration with filmmaker Sok Chan Rado, technologist Mathieu Eymeoud, and designer Jean-Alex Quach, Primary Voice presents here Urban Seam: the Making of a Cambodian City.
As a pedagogical two-part experience consisting of an exhibition and accompanying workshop, Urban Seam uses interactive technology as a learning tool to introduce Cambodia’s multifaceted urban history. Previously exhibited in Paris in 2018, this is a rare opportunity for Primary Voice to return to its origins and delve deeper into an examination of Cambodia’s collective urbanization.
