Description

Explore the possibilities of healing through multidisciplinary forms of art. This workshop is also holding space to respond to trauma. This is a multi-pronged experience. Bring objects (That you are willing to let go) that bring you joy, hope, fear, anxiety, excitement, and any emotion you can think of. We will make different types of art from paint pours to printmaking with stories recorded and inscribed. In the process of making art from these objects, we embed the emotional energy into them or exercise the energy we carry. Art can be made to reconcile and respond to Trauma as well. Join us with what camera, objects, memories, and emotions you have, and let's make what we can to heal, together. About the Artist Jordan T. Robinson (He/They) is an interdisciplinary artist and curator based in North Carolina. As an artist, much of their work is focused on identity and navigation. In their practice as an artist, they investigate matters of the mind, heart, and spirit that influences the will of people and how that is oriented around life, and circumstances. It is their hope that, in mapping their own multi-layered facets, others can better navigate themselves and achieve self-mastery. They describe themself as stuck between worlds never really belonging in a particular one. However, they end up in this space where they build the bridges to connect these worlds together. About Memoria Memoria is an attempt for communities to tell their own narratives and is a process of healing, reconciliation, and remembrance. For the artist, who is letting go of these memorabilia and the baggage they carry, it is about giving these objects a new life and a chance to live on their own as he parts ways with them to make room for new memories. Memoria is a project that will result in a body of mix-media art, sculptures, and small shrines decorating the exhibition space as we decorate our home.
