Workshop in Gallery 3-5pm Remembering (creating ceramic handkerchiefs). Base on the exhibition "Mujeres de Archivo", this workshop explores how the tradition of sawing and embroidering has been passed through generations and still is a personal manifestation of many sentiments. Instead of using threads and fabric, we will use ceramic and painting. Ceramic objects are also part of our usual domestic landscape, the materiality connects with us and brings back many memories. We will do first some exercises to prepare the clay and then we will do our own paƱuelos with details that we remember from the past or we want to remember in the future. Open to all ages. Mujeres de Archivo, an exhibition featuring the work of three Latinx women artists that deploys a decolonial and feminist approach to archiving, foregrounding memory work, an ongoing history of overlooked labor and knowledge across the Americas. Working across mediums such as textile, print, and sculpture, the exhibition centers archival fragments both inherited and imagined. Closing Reception: 5:30-7:30pm Curated by Nikki Meyers Featured Artists: C.J. Chueca, Cinthya Santos Briones, Blanka Amezkua |
