Asian Reflection on Community Connection w/ Chopsticks Alley Art

Institute of Contemporary Art San José

A meditation at ICA featuring an Asian artistic reflection on our understanding of collectivism and community.

Join Chopsticks Alley Art and ICA San José for a very special guided meditation within our gallery on Saturday, June 18th at 11am. Participants will be led in a relaxing,1-hour program including a special flute performance, a short introduction on Asian perspectives on community connection, and a group meditation.In most Asian cultures, collectivism comes naturally. In collectivistic cultures, individuals are seen as embedded within their group identity, and the notion of a separate, autonomous self is deemphasized and discouraged. In this discussion, we will explore ideas on how we could embody these cultural ways to make a positive impact for our community. We will provide mats, but feel free to bring your own. Chairs will be provided as needed.Featuring:Thi Cầm, Vietnamese Poet, FlutistTrami Cron, Author, Exec Artistic Director of Chopsticks Alley ArtSmita Garg, EdD, Arts Educator, Kinder Way HealingAbout the Chopsticks AlleyChopsticks Alley Art promotes Southeast Asian cultural heritage through the creative expression of art.
