Saturday, October 9th at 2pm Locust Projects presents Altar-making Workshop with Loni Johnson. Johnson invites you to bring meaningful objects – such as photographs, memorabilia, crystals, jewelry, and more – and build small altars as offerings to your ancestors. Participants will be guided to contemplate how we claim, navigate, and hold space; how ancestral and historical memory informs where, when, and how we occupy spaces; and how we carry and honor our ancestors in the spaces we move through. RSVP HERE.
Loni Johnson’s residency at Locust Projects transforms the Mobile Studio into a physical space to inform, heal, and offer counter-narratives that commemorate Black women and girls and celebrates their role in the community. As part of her current exhibition, Johnson invites you to bring meaningful objects–such as photographs, memorabilia, crystals, jewelry, and more–and build small altars as offerings to your ancestors. Participants will be guided to contemplate how we claim, navigate, and hold space; how ancestral and historical memory informs where, when, and how we occupy spaces; and how we carry and honor our ancestors in the spaces we move through. The altars will be unified into a larger piece and installed as a collaborative work.
