SUMMARY:How Do We Move Through This?
DESCRIPTION:Explore your relationship to water\, community\, and change through embodied learning. \n\n\n\n\nDeveloped by interdisciplinary artist and choreographer\, Victoria Bradford Styrbicki\, the workshop draws from her semaphore-inspired choreographic framework\, in which coded gestures communicate messages that cannot always be spoken aloud. \nThe workshop introduces attendees to the idea that water holds memory — of storms\, pollution\, healing\, migration\, and care — and that our own bodies also carry stories shaped by our environments. Using simple movement scores\, flag-based signaling\, and creative improvisation\, participants translate feelings such as grief\, resilience\, fear\, and hope into physical form. \nThe workshop concludes with a facilitated dialogue connecting the movement work to how environmental change mirrors the emotional and social changes in our own lives — and how collective action\, like collective movement\, can shape healthier futures for both water and community. \nChildren ages 10 and up accompanied by an adult are welcome. Space is limited. \nThis event is free\, but registration is required.

SUMMARY:Cyanotype Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Learn to create cyanotypes using collected Mississippi River water\, plants + found objects gathered near the River’s edge. \nJoin us for an afternoon of fun: Learning about the Mississippi River\, how we’re connected to it\, and how we can create with it too. While you’re here\, explore Shoshana Fink’s solo exhibit\, A Gathering of Waters. \nIn this workshop\, we will harness the power of the sun to make detailed cyanotype prints on sensitized paper using plants and objects that we collect near the river. After exposing our cyanotypes to UV light\, we will develop them in Mississippi River water (collected prior to the workshop) and hang them to dry. After completion\, workshop participants will be able to take their prints home. \n*Cyanotype is the “original” sun-printing process\, one of the earliest photographic techniques. Discovered in 1842 and distinctive for producing rich\, Prussian blue monochromatic prints\, cyanotype was popular well into the 20th century as an inexpensive method for reproducing photographs\, documents\, maps and plans (hence the enduring architectural term “blueprint”) and for making impressions of biological or plant specimens in the field (“photograms”). \nThis event is free\, but registration is required.
