Wearable Art Workshop
Sun Mar 31, 2019
11:00am ET
Age: All
Price: Free with admission
In this workshop, you will be able to listen to the sound of plants through the electrical current that moves through them. This current also flows through us. Using MIDI Sprout technology will allow visitors and plants to connect together to create musical sounds. Inspired by this connection, visitors will then create wearable art with plant-like materials.
The workshops - scheduled for 11 a.m., 12:15 p.m., and 2 p.m. - are spearheaded by Lani Asuncion, a multicultural Asian American artist who uses video, performance, sculpture, and plants to survey how different cultures deal with experiences of loss, transformation, and belonging.
