This Event was made possible by The City Artist Corps.<h2>Descriptions:</h2><h3>Intro to Experimental Self Portraiture</h3>Time: 1pm - 2:15pm Join me for a one hour portrait making workshop. We will explore an experimental approach to self-portraiture as a means of self documentation informed by intuitive decision making and radical self acceptance. Participants are encouraged to use this time to exercise their intuition, meditate and self express. Attendees will make self portraits in a relaxed manner that confronts the history of art and classrooms as a space for competition. Come find pleasure in the act of making, and reflect on your individualism.

The discussion will include information about how these approaches have informed my personal work and have transformed the photography as a medium.<blockquote>Note: Development time 3hrs</blockquote>Facilitator: Andie M.

Using performance methods to engage the voice and body, Trains of Thought will encourage writers to reclaim the practice for themselves, reframe writing as a full circle sensory experience, and begin to take the first steps to over-riding the trap of compulsory self-editing.Facilitator: Jackie TorresIG: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/jackieines/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">@Jackienes</a>____________________________________________________________________________<h3>Turmeric Anthotypes: Making Photos with Plants </h3>Time: 2:30pm-3:30pmDescription: Hi, I’m Hector and I am a photographer working on a new alternative photography project, where I use Turmeric to make plant based photographs. My goal for this workshop is to show people how to make their own prints with simple items that can be found at home and to think about photography on a deeper level. Participants will be able to create alternative photographs and photo impressions using the spice Turmeric and a few other household items. We will extract the yellow pigment from the turmeric using household alcohol, coat a piece of paper of choice and print images from your own personal collection or make impressions of leaves and plants of choice.

Within this workshop attendees will explore experimental writing and drawing techniques, resulting in their own “Written Portraits” and “Touch Portraits”. This workshop deconstructs the process of looking, how seeing informs perception and what role empathy plays in art making. An approachable introduction to Conceptual Art through an Afro Diasporic lens.Facilitator: Ariel MercadoIG: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/shesopleasant/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">@SheSoPleasant</a>____________________________________________________________________________Bridge Graduation 21’ Music ShowcaseTime: 5pm-7pmDescription: Commemorate The Salon’s “The Bridge Program’s” first graduating class of Teaching Artists with live music and a DJ set, Produced by Bridge program graduates Pook Hustle and Melika Dave.
