MEMORY BOX-MAKING
With AIM Artist kiarita
1:00 – 3:00 PM • On the 2nd Floor
For All Ages
The artist describes this program as follows: How can we extend the life of a memory, hold it in our hands? In this workshop, exhibiting artist kiarita will guide participants in adorning a wooden box in a way that describes a special memory. Boxes will be provided, along with an assortment of found materials and art tools. We will consider how objects in relationships create and change meaning, how we affect each other, and how we can make moments last longer.
ART YOU CAN WEAR:
A HANDS-ON SCREENPRINTING WORKSHOP
With AIM Artist Motohiro Takeda & Leekyung Kang
1:00 – 3:00 PM • On the 2nd Floor
For All Ages
The artists describe this program as follows: Join us for an immersive, all-ages workshop celebrating creativity, community, and culture through wearable art. Inspired by the imagery and themes of our current exhibition, this hands-on screen printing experience invites the local Bronx community and friends from beyond to come together, create, and connect.”
Participants will have the opportunity to design their own custom T-shirt or tote bag using a selection of visuals drawn from the exhibition’s theme. This program is rooted in our commitment to engaging with The Bronx and extending that dialogue outward through art making. Whether you’re a first-time creator or a seasoned artist, you’ll be guided through the screen printing process and encouraged to make something unique.
Featured artists from the exhibition will be present, offering insight into their creative journeys and discussing the theme of the show in an open, welcoming setting. This event is designed to spark conversation and celebrate art you can wear.
