Unmasking the Uninterrupted Self: A Ritual of (Re)membering
Join artist Denali Jöel for a transformative 3-hour workshop inspired by our exhibition, An Artful Life: A Tribute to Matthew C. Strauss. Guided by Toni Morrison's "Sites of Memory" and artworks by Mickalene Thomas and Nick Cave, participants will create expressive masks and no-sew cloaks as visual responses to the question: "Who am I uninterrupted?"
Through ritual, making, and movement, this hands-on experience invites reflection on identity, wholeness, and embodied memory.
No prior art experience is necessary–just a willingness to explore (re)member, and connect.
This program is intended for adult audiences. Capacity is limited to 25 participants.

Drawing on Afro-Indigenous cosmologies and masquerade traditions, such as Jonkonnu, their work approaches fashion as a living archive and performance as a site of remembrance, repair, and speculative worldbuilding.
