Mash-Up Workshop with Julie Mayo and Christy Funsch

Sunday, March 28 at 2:30-5:30pm EDT
*Join Julie Mayo and Christy Funsch in conversation with Amelia Uzategui Bonilla and Kimberly Bartosik on Sunday, March 28 at 6pm EDT
​
ABOUT THE CLASS:
Accretion and Erasure: In this workshop Julie and Christy extend invitations to build and shed materials and presences. Working with a layered approach to generate potentials, while remaining open to the relations and relativities that are arising, we will pursue a series of prompts and timed experiments to feed our creative selves. We will also make time and hold space for group conversations.
​
