MAKERS MARKETAsia North 2024
Friday, May 31, 5 – 9 p.m.
On the sidewalk in front of the North Avenue Market (30 W. North Ave) and Motor House
By us and for us from all over the Asian diaspora, the Asia North 2024 Makers Market highlights and showcases local APIMEDA artists/makers and their goods. Connect and resonate with others in a season of transition through community care, cultural work, and crafts. Goods featured include art prints, jewelry, pottery, home goods, and much more. Curated by WeiAnne Reidy. Participate in a Flowerhands Natural Nail Dye workshop with Adele Yiseol Kenworthy. Enjoy Egyptian street food by Koshary Corner.
Adele Yiseol Kenworthy (she/they) is a first generation Korean American artist organizer and her vulnerability is her superpower. She explores how flowers have dyed, draped, and nourished social movements; what it means for socially engaged art to exist as an embodied practice of care; and tending the spaces of cultural memory and art as reimagined heritage work. They’ve exhibited at Transformer Gallery, DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities, Brentwood Arts Exchange, The Fearless Artist Pop up Gallery at Art Basel Miami, Gallery 102 at George Washington University and NEXT (2022) Festival at the Corcoran School of Art and Design. Adele leads a Flowerhands Natural Dye workshop at the Asia North 2024 closing event and her work is on view in the Asia North 2024 exhibition. themeowingbird.com IG @themeowingbird
