What can the body hold that the archive cannot?
Join post-grad resident artist Adele Yiseol Kenworthy for a free workshop that explores how memory can be held, mended, and shared in material form. Participants will transform the joy-filled, sugary treat Dragon’s Beard into a way to think about how we hold the lives of others.
Time: 10 a.m.-12 p.m.
Location: Torpedo Factory Art Center Studio 9
RSVP required.
Adele (she/they) is a 1.5 generation Korean American artist-organizer whose work centers the AANHPI femme experience transforming ephemeral, organic materials like cut florals and fruits into living monuments and counter memories existing in public. She explores what gestures and rituals we hold as sites of comfort during occupation and war.
Kenworthy holds her MFA in Social Practice Art with an emphasis in public policy from the Corcoran School of Arts and Design at George Washington University, receiving the 2022 Outstanding MFA Award. She lives and works on the ancestral lands of the Piscataway and Nacotchtank (Anacostan) people, in the Washington, D.C metro area.
