Based on artist Sharu B. Sikdar's installation work, the workshop will guide participants on how to make lucky pinwheels from banana leaves. With the leaves collected from the island, the artist hopes to encourage participants to be more aware of their environment, to reconnect with nature and be in touch with their inner child by making a childhood toy with natural materials.

About the artist:

Sharu B. Sikdar

Sikdar is a Hong Kong born Indian Filipino artist. She graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in 2017 at the Savannah College of Art and Design, Hong Kong. Sikdar’s artistic practice is repetitive and labour-intensive as she collects, assembles, deconstructs and reconstructs found objects. She utilises natural materials such as branches, barks and leaves. She is currently exploring her hair as a medium, tapping into the relations between the body and nature, personal growth and the ephemeral.
