Everyone Kneads a Home with Lucky Lee

Explore memories, sensations and ideas of home through bread-scented enquiry and create your own delicious bread house.

Imbued with curiosity and mirth, this workshop leads participants through a simple tactile exercise and structured conversation connecting their own stories of the familiar and domestic with wider social realities.  The experience culminates in cups of tea, more chats and hot buttered bread made with your very own hands!

Join Lucky Lee to be part of fragrant, fresh breadmaking experiments and real talk about home.

Please note: dough used is for gluten tolerant participants only.

The Artist:

Karen (Lucky) Lee is a contemporary artist, experience designer, and facilitator.  She creates multi-disciplinary social practice works and participatory experiences exploring place, identity, inequality, gender, class, humanness, social connection, mobility, and built and natural environments.

She likes creating playful opportunities to explore serious topics, generate sensory joy, kinaesthetic activation and emotive memory, and build connections to bridge difference and bring delight.

Her projects include Conversation Station, Sister Silencio’s Travelling Confessional, Manual Arts Collective, Mobility Stories, and BIKE-CURIOUS, a program working towards equal access to bike-riding and transport autonomy for girls and women.

Arts residency at The Heritage Collective

Karen is spending her residency developing her practice and a body of work entitled ‘Good Bones’, examining housing security, urban life, sense-of-home, attachment, and the cost of living.  Works explored may include paper and wire sculpture houses, a sound and sculpture installation, bread houses and cityscapes, maps, participatory works and video works. The project provides opportunities for the participation of the wider community, including seniors.

Karen will be in the Makerspace on Thursdays and Fridays, during October- December 2024.

Karen’s residency is supported through DADAA, Lotterywest, and the Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries.
