leading to the familiar
Facilitated by Educator-in-Residence Shalon T. Webber-Heffernan, six interdisciplinary practitioners have been invited to develop an Attunement Session that responds to an image set with prompts that challenge viewers to open new ways of understanding what we see. Each of these sessions offer pedagogic tools to assist audiences with “tuning-in” by means of embodiment, perception, texture, joy, meditation, encounter, touch, intimacy, sound, intuition, or other senses.
In response to Ornamenting Relation, Golboo Amani has layered multi-generational family photographs onto different ornate Persian textiles—floral wallpaper, a patterned rug, and embroidered fabric. This video series prompts audiences to examine how ornaments, even when abstracted or fragmented, generate a familiarity that resonates across time, place and kinships.
