Pigeoning the Palaces engages with the misunderstood figure of the pigeon. Based on a previous project of Amber’s, the workshop consists of painting handmade pigeon figurines or pigeon templates (pre-made by Amber); then it’s up to the attendees if you’d like to ‘Pigeon the Palace’ by hiding the finished figurines around Arts One, the Queen Mary campus, or London itself! The workshop is intended to be relaxing; creativity and imperfection are welcomed!

This workshop will be run on a drop-in basis!

Amber Pattisson is a local pigeon enthusiast and artist. She has recently completed her undergraduate degree in Drama at Queen Mary. Pigeoning the Palaces is based on Amber’s ‘Offstage London’ project in which she hid 30 handmade pigeons around London, which linked to a questionnaire asking the public about their feelings on the bird, and whether they had moments where they were misunderstood.
