MOTHER TONGUE
DESCRIPTION
Mother Tongue honors the foundational arts of the Black Diaspora.
ver·nac·u·lar /vərˈnakyələr/ adjective
1. spoken as one's mother tongue; not learned or imposed as a second language.
This workshop aims to identify, contextualize, and validate some of Black people’s ways of being, knowing, and creating in order to explore how that creative healing knowledge guided Black people to wellness, from time immemorial, through slavery, revolution, and liberation. This season we engage in the art of altar building. In tandem with the installation in the exhibit, Tiny Farm Wagon will be a site for planting seeds and interacting with life, while holding space for our collective grief. Workshop Activities will include collage, seed planting, and interactive altar practice.
