On Saturday, November 11th from 1-3pm join us in celebrating community, connection, and shared creation for a FREE Community Day! This community day is led by artist Hyeree Ro. What do memories hold? How are they contained? Participants will be exploring the idea of memory and be guided through the steps to create sealed objects that contain and conceal things of memory. The is a guided clay workshop. All ages are welcome! No wheel throwing, just hand building. To make room for all, we ask that you spend an hour maximum making something. This event is free, but we welcome donations! This program is supported, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council, and The Brooklyn Council on the Arts.
Hyeree Ro is an artist based in Brooklyn, New York, primarily working with sculptural objects and multi-lingual fractured narrative-based performance. Her practice is informed by her experience as a child of an immigrant growing up in California as well as her subsequent returns to Korea as a teenager and then to the US as an international student. As a constant migrant passing through various immigrant statuses and encountering disparities in class and wealth, Ro interweaves her family history, places, language, body, movement, and stories into her practice. Ro has exhibited at Leeum Museum of Art (Seoul, Korea), SVA CP Project Space(New York, NY), Project Space SARUBIA(Seoul, Korea), NARS Gallery (Brooklyn, NY), Korean Culture Centre (Ottawa, Canada), Ilmin Museum of Art (Seoul, Korea), Akiyoshidai International Art Village (Mine, Japan) amongst others. She holds an MFA in Sculpture from Yale School of Art (2021) and a BFA from Korea National University of Arts (2017).
