NOTICING TERRESTRIAL NARRATIVES

Free Work­shop

In this imprint­ing and frot­tage work­shop, led by Tatiana Arocha (2023 NYCBAR/RU alum), par­tic­i­pants will work direct­ly with plants and sur­round­ing sur­faces found on the grounds of Gov­er­nors Island through clay impres­sions and graphite rubbings.

By touch­ing, observ­ing, and trans­fer­ring tex­tures from leaves, bark, soil, and built mate­ri­als, they cre­ate prints and impres­sions that cap­ture traces of the environment.

No pri­or expe­ri­ence is nec­es­sary and all mate­ri­als are provided.

Res­i­den­cy Unlim­it­ed is one of the 2026 Gov­er­nors Island Arts Orga­ni­za­tions in Res­i­dence.
