Heritage Ambassadors
Welcome to our Heritage Ambassador public Meet up series where folk Heritage artists engage participants into the sharing of their artistic experience, skill and cultural heritage.
Join Heritage ambassador 2023 Polish Brooklyn-based visual artist Asia Sztencel for an interactive workshop exploring memory, storytelling and community connection through participatory art making.
Asia's conceptual practice and traditional craft offers a personal exploration within the larger narrative of the immigration experience, highlighting landscape as a narrative, dissecting the feelings of exile, recall, and longing.
How do landscapes stay with us across time, migration, and personal change? How can art help preserve memory and create connection between people and communities?
Drawing from her ongoing project You Can Carry Your Landscape With You, developed through collaborations with immigrant and older adult communities in Brooklyn, Asia will discuss how art can create spaces for reflection, exchange, and collective remembering.
Participants will engage in a sensory-based creative exercise using clay, ink, and memory as starting points for artistic exploration inspired by personal landscapes, recollections, and lived experiences.
The session will include conversation, reflection, and hands-on participation.
No previous art experience is required.
All materials will be provided.
RSVP strongly encouraged
