SUMMARY:Sacred Mothers Collage Workshop with Creative Assembly Artist LaVonna Varnado-Brown
DESCRIPTION:In this program organized by Creative Assembly Cohort member LaVonna Varnado-Brown\, join for for a gallery walk with curators Lisa Rotondo-McCord and Amanda M. Maples highlighting works on view at the intersection of Afrodiaspora and the Divine Feminine—followed by a collage-making workshop facilitated by Varnado-Brown and and a showcase of her work on the second floor of the museum. \nFrom the artist: To take seriously each other’s vulnerability\, fragility\, and precarity with clear socio-emotional boundaries according to each one’s needs. To see one another with big\, world absorbing eyes. To both honor and allow space for each one to show up as they are. To enact community with an intersectional lens and practice interdependency to empower each one to another. That is Afrofuturist kinship. That can open the path to enter the sacred mother space. \nThis program is free\, but advance registration is required. \nRegister Now \n\nLaVonna Varnado-Brown has worked as an installation artist\, artist advocate\, teaching artist\, and tutor in and around New Orleans and with Beginning with Children\, a Brooklyn–based college and career preparatory program). Varnado-Brown creates mixed-media visual art engaging with Afrofuturism\, history\, the divine feminine\, and floral motifs. Varnado-Brown explores Afrofuturism as a cultural aesthetic to navigate the intersection of art and history and inspire action in the now by creating space for joy. Varnado-Brown finds inspiration in the community through facilitating workshops that create intentional space to engage in creative grounding practices that raise our spatial awareness and kinesthetic responses to one another and our environment.
