On Saturday, September 8th from 2- 4 PM, in conjunction with the Go Project and our newest exhibition Interpreting Rituals: The Butterfly Effect, an exploration into the notion of sacredness in contemporary society, the NARS Foundation will offer an afternoon of community public programming. Join Ed Lin, Anelise Chen and Rahna Reiko Rizzuto of theAsian American Writers Workshop as they each present their readings and reflections on sacredness and spirituality. We will also host a performance by spoken word artists from Buendia, a local grassroots Sunset Park artist collective.
Throughout the afternoon, a Clay Workshop for children and families will be offered by NARS studio artist Maria Hupfield, along with a chance to enjoy tea from a set of ceramic vessels created by exhibiting artist Ming Yuen-Schat.
