About this Event
Join artist SPEAKS, RiNo Art District, and RedLine Contemporary Art Center for a program series centered on exploring identity and creating art. This workshop series runs all of 2024 and ends in a group show celebrating the artwork participants create. In this series we aim to deepen and explore our personal connections to our artistic and creative expressions. We also ask questions about how we view and understand ourselves in relation to art. What does it mean to truly“identify” with someone's artwork? What does it mean to see ourselves in our art?
This workshop series builds. Join us for each workshop to get deeper into your exploration of self and creative practice. The workshop series culminates with a group art show. Drop ins and one-off attendees are very welcome!
Participants will be provided with art making materials. Light food and drink will be provided.
September 5th: Art is Resistance
Intersectionality was created to prove that we are individuals. Meaning that no matter if we share an intersection of our identity we all still have different experiences in life due to our other intersections. No person is the same.
“Art Is Resistance” will help participants explore the idea of using art as a form of resistance for oppression, trauma, and constructs that have been built inside of our identities since the day we are born.
We will address the trauma that was passed down to us through generations based on the intersections of our identity, and use this to prompt work that is the direct response to those things that try to hold us back.
