Workshop 1: Weaving Ancestral Tapestries
presented by Zainab Amadahy and Marika Schwandt
Weaving Ancestral Tapestries
Ancestral memory is stored in the bones of our bodies. Zainab Amadahy and Marika Schwandt recount their “embodiment” experiences as participants in the Urban Ink’s Arrivals Workshops. Urban Ink has developed a unique and internationally recognized process that is based in the stories, voice and cultural practices of each artist’s personal ancestry. The workshop not only facilitates artistic development for the participating artists but promotes relationship building and collaboration across communities. By recovering our legacies and introducing our ancestral stories to each other we begin to transcend to new levels of pride, humility, mutual respect and gratitude for Creation.
