Expeditions: Honoring Immigrant Journeys
Ecuadorian Artist and Educator Salome Egas will be hosting a free in-person workshop.
Expeditions: Honoring Immigrant Journeys
A two hour workshop where participants will be guided through a series of exercises centering and celebrating their immigrant experiences/ immigrant heritages. Through writing, theatrical and somatic expeditions, participants will be able to create space to process their relationships to immigration and how it’s shaped their identities. At the end, participants will create a personal immigrant mantra, a written statement reminding us of our strength and value, to be used in times of uncertainty and immigration/ identity limbo. Come prepared to write, play, move and celebrate your journey. Water and light snacks will be provided.
This workshop is part of the “Mas que un Petalo” project, a grantee of the Brooklyn Arts Council and the American immigration Council. This project is supported by Ecuadorian American Cultural Center, Motive Brooklyn and Suite V Brooklyn.
