Circling Back Collage Circle (February 2019)

A workshop to explore the concept of our "Common Wealth” at Machina Loci*. (Patty Glikbarg, Kerstin Hellmann & friends)

Circling Back Collage Circle, offered to complement an installation by Nicole Vinokur titled Common Wealth, this collage circle invited participants to consider: What does it mean to circle back to the garden as a place, an idea, or an ideal again and again? And also, How can we cultivate our garden our common heritage together? This creative exploration is a powerful way to address shared concerns and to experience ourselves as part of a complex, dynamic whole. Collage circles invite participants to explore community issues through an intuitive process of choosing, assembling, thinking, and speaking through images.

*Machina Loci’s Window Project is a series of commissioned artworks that contribute to the local public conversation by working with shop front windows as an interface that begins to dissolve the boundary between public and private.
