  • Artist/Mechanic: Dina RonÄŤević

idle women and Heart of Glass invite women and girls to work with artist-car mechanic Dina Rončević in the Car Deconstruction Surgery at the idle women institute, St Helens.

Trained as an animator, new media artist and car mechanic, Rončević’s work in St Helens continues the artist’s Car Deconstruction series in which she deconstructs vehicles with help from women, utilising theatre, photography, video, embroidery and text in the development of the work.

The workshops, in which you will deconstruct a vehicle as well as learn basic car maintenance tips will happen every Monday and Thursday between 22nd February and 29th March, 5 to 8pm at the idle women institute

All women 16+ welcome - not for children.
