Open AIR - We Know This Forest: 3-Day Workshop with Candace Garlock

WE KNOW THIS FOREST, led by Open AIR Spring artist-in-residence and educator Candace Garlock, is a community-based art project that uses the metaphor of a dense, shifting forest to explore the nonlinear, often unpredictable experience of living with chronic conditions and disability. It creates space for participants to share stories, images, and reflections that honor both the difficulty and resilience found in these lived landscapes while exploring shared ecological memory and identity through collaborative woodcut and casting workshops. While the project invites people with chronic conditions and disabilities to engage, participation does not require disclosing any diagnosis, disability status, or health information unless they personally choose to share it.
This workshop is suitable for ages 18+
This workshop meets on 3 consecutive Mondays, and Open AIR hopes to work with a consistent group of 5-8 individuals. Lunch will be provided.
