Ticketed → https://bit.ly/3PSQoH3
How do we learn more about ancestors we’ve never met and how do we honor their stories in art? Connect past with present in this artmaking workshop designed for adult audiences. First, participate in gallery activities and discussion throughout the exhibition Whitfield Lovell: Passages to explore multiple narratives in Lovell’s work. Then head to the Rosenthal Education Center (REC) to create artworks inspired by your own stories, memories, and ancestors. In the spirit of Lovell’s work, participants will create memory jar assemblages with everyday objects and learn portrait drawing techniques to capture their personal likenesses or a likeness of an ancestor. Taught by local artist and educator, Ryan Leary. All materials are provided, but participants may wish to bring their own small objects or photographs representing personal memories and people from their past.
About the Artist:
Ryan Nichole Leary is a visual artist/historian/educator and Cincinnati native dedicated to educating, sharing, and celebrating the narratives of people who are part of the African Diaspora. Leary works as a visual artist, specializing in portraits, lectures on art history at local institutions, and blends her love for creativity and activism in her work. She describes her work as “Obnoxiously Large, Unapologetically Black." It is through Leary’s artwork, lectures, and teachings that she hopes to correct false narratives and celebrate the brilliance of the Diaspora. Learn more about her work at ryannicholestudios.com.
