The mishap and memory Apothicarium: A Mobile Interactive Sculpture for Transforming Mishaps and Memories. By Kati Kent and Jen Hamblin

doing together is a yearly two-day making and sharing practice symposium at Locksbrook Campus , hosted by the Art Research Centre (Bath School of Art, Film and Media ) in collaboration with the Centre of Cultural and Creative Industries .

This is an experimental participatory session that brings together shared studio practice and performative exploration. t the centre of the session is a travelling interactive sculpture, 'The Apothicarium', which holds a curated mix of found objects and artist-made sculptural works used as prompts to explore mishaps and memory.

Participants are invited to recall personal experiences then draw, cut out, and write onto a paper object that resonates with their story. Working side-by-side in low-pressure ways—drawing, writing, cutting, hanging, and discussing—participants engage through co-presence, shared handling of materials, and collective

attention rather than performance or verbal fluency.

Through prompt-based reflection the session explores how mishaps and memories can be reframed as generative experiences, fostering empathy, openness, and connection through shared vulnerability and play.
