The shemza.digital interactive digital painting workshop is a new format created in 2021 following the creation of shemza.digital #3 - an animated installation that updates in real-time. These workshops could be stand alone or activate the installation if exhibited at your venue. Watch the video below to see how the interaction will work for the workshops.
