Collective Healing Workshops: we move; therefore, we are
we move; therefore, we are, is a collective stitching, drawing, mark-making, and collage workshop exploring movement, belonging, and home as something we carry, lose, and rebuild over time. Participants will create layered collaborative works that are passed between hands, transformed by others, and rooted in shared reflection, listening, and connection.

Mi Casa es Tu Casa is a silkscreen printing, collage, and drawing project that refers to an old Latinx saying that welcomes others fully into each other’s homes. Participants will be guided to create a collage-print with elements from their home: food, people, toys, and furniture. Conversations will be instigated while they notice the similarities of others’ works near them.

Caregiving Creative: Unlearning the Artist is an interactive, all-ages workshop that explores how making art at home requires artists to adapt to interruptions, caregiving responsibilities, and shared spaces, reframing these moments not as disruptions but as part of the creative process itself. Grounded in Disability Arts, Justice, and Anthropology of Motherhood frameworks, participants engage in collaborative “relational making” activities that encourage flexibility, care, and collective creativity over individual control.

Excavating the Family Tree is an art and story journaling workshop in which participants will be guided in making their own unique family tree collage art piece to take home. This workshop will conclude with an optional story sharing circle.
