This two-part workshop explores the ways water and love of public places intersect. Inspired by ADT’s summer of projects centered on the notion of public love, we will carry stories of water into this practice together.
The first session (August 27) begins with a movement meditation led by Ananya Chatterjea and Kealoha Ferreira, then moves into collage-making. Led by Jay Claire, we will assemble a communal collaged River Tapestry as we consider the ripple effects of our own stories and actions of love for water and each other.
In the second session (September 2), we will share stories about occupation and liberation and ways that water teaches us how to flow. Celebrated singer/songwriter Mankwe Ndosi will teach musical phrases from a song she has composed, and Ananya Chatterjea will share simple gestures of choreography. This gathering culminates in an outdoor procession through Cedar Riverside, with the River Tapestry created in previous workshops. Through public singing, gestures, and offerings, we will express a transformative public love for water and all of life.
No dance, art, or musical experience is needed! All ages are welcome. All activities are designed to meet people where they are. Attending both workshops is encouraged but not required.
This Cultural Districts Arts Fund activation is funded by the City of Minneapolis Arts & Cultural Affairs Department.
