This event has passed
Location | The Alice Austen House: 2 Hylan Blvd Staten Island, NY
Join us at The Alice Austen House for a vibrant community day marking the closing of The Serpent, The Medicine, and The Invisible Devil—a culminating event filled with collective creativity, healing, and joy.
Throughout the day, we invite you to take part in a series of interactive experiences including a Corn Husk Community Weaving Gathering led by Faviola Lopez-Romani, where participants will co-create a large-scale woven piece using natural materials and ancestral techniques.
Explore the magic of local flora in a Plant-Based Dye Workshop with Nelise Nasheida, where you’ll learn to transform locally grown and foraged plants into living color on cloth—an invitation to reconnect with the land through the alchemy of natural dyeing.
The day will include a Dance Performance with Davalois Fearon Dance company featuring performers adorned in wearable sculptures by artist Jasmine Murrell made from plant-based materials, embodying transformation, celebration, and rooted resilience.
Finally there will be an open forum panel titled ‘Weaving a Collective Protocol’ moderated by Suhaly Bautista-Carolina from the American LGBTQ+ Museum.
