How do we soothe ourselves in the age of efficiency? How do we find time for care in the age of speed? How do we transform healing into daily acts of resistance and revolution? Join artist Maria Antonia Eguiarte in an object-making workshop that plants the seeds surrounding these questions through the creation of a self-soothing artifact. Using fiber, wire, and other materials, we will create a hand-held object informed by mindfulness and awareness of the needs of our bodies, souls, and beings. This program is intended for adult audiences. Capacity is limited to 25 participants. Program: 11AM: Learn about Eguiarte’s art practice and how she explores expressions of vulnerability and care through her performance and object-making. 11:30AM: After a guided mindfulness exercise, Eguiarte will lead participants in creating hand-held objects that provide calm and tranquility when held in our hands. About Maria Antonia Eguiarte: Maria Antonia Eguiarte is an interdisciplinary artist born in Lansing, Michigan and raised between Mexico City and California. She is currently based in San Diego, California. Eguiarte is engaged in gesture-based performance and object-making. Since the start of her artistic exploration, she has been drawn to vulnerability and care as radical political weapons for quiet, gestural revolution. This has been the main focus of her practice as an artist, caregiver, hybrid storyteller, student, and teacher, which centers on the possibilities of a transnational body that carries multigenerational knowledge of care. Using textiles, fibers, and threads, Eguiarte draws from personal narrative, family and nation myths, and non-linear and anti-hierarchical ways of knowledge to disrupt her relationship with care, community, and self.
