Engage in a community mixer, led by Maria Maea (b. 1988, Long Beach, CA), as we explore the traditional craft of weaving.ÌýÌý

Maria utilizes assemblage and process-based figurative sculptures and installations to illuminate the relationship between land and the body, specifically focused on narratives around immigrant families and their labor in Los Angeles. Her research focuses on equitable futures and climate justice through food and water accessibility in marginalized communities. Through her use of materials such as concrete, rebar, found objects, fruiting plants, seeds, and woven palm fronds foraged across Los Angeles, Maea creates future ancestor sculptures that act as intimate portraits of family and community as well as abstract cartography of the LA urban landscape. Many of her works structurally contain seed pods that over time will crumble to dust, leaving only the viable seed behind. Through the act of propagation and stewardship the artworks become multi-generational. These works seek to expand and complicate our relationship to issues around justice, stewardship, contamination and preservation.Ìý

The event will be limited to 30 participants. Locally foraged palmÌýfrondsÌýwill be provided.Ìý

Please to attend the workshop. We look forward to seeing you!
