Workshop

Sat, Jul 27 from 3:00 – 6:00pm EDT
Alter is a reimagined death cafe curated by Nancy Huang (educator, death doula, and poet) and Anastasia Corrine. Join us to talk about fears, dreams, and thoughts about death and mortality in a non judgemental setting. Centering Queer & Trans Black and brown communities, we embrace lineal wisdom, herbalism, and rest as methods for exploring death positivity. Our goal is to empower people to know and restore their relationship to the cycle of life while creating language and community to support them through uncountable changes. Alter is a space to imagine alternatives to systems that exploit death and neglect grief as elements of human experience. Through prompted discussion, building a collective altar, and enjoying light refreshments, we invite participants to reclaim their relationship with life, death, and nature.

Closing Reception

Sun, Aug 4 from 2:00 – 6:00pm EDT
Closing Ceremonies: Seed Swap + Plant Stories Join us for a seed swap and plant exchange to celebrate the closing of the exhibition. There will be an informal open mic where the general public can share their plant stories and knowledge. Open to all.
