Description
iniva together with Grand Junction, Climate Reframe, and artist Maymana Arefin present 'Fruitings Will Come' a four part workshop series taking place every Tuesday from 1 to 3 PM at Grand Junction.
The fourth session, What the Land Holds — Soil and Somatics bring awareness to soil as an archive of memory and colonial history through clay sculpture.
A hands-on workshop considering soil and land as living repositories of memory. Participants are invited to reflect on history, conflict, and ancestral heritage by shaping small clay objects that hold personal and collective stories. Through touch and making, the session invites connection to the ground beneath us, sculpting as an act of remembering and holding communal memory.
