Unpacking Our Histories: Embracing Hope & Resilience through Weaving

Unpacking our Histories is a collaborative art project led by Fresh Eye Artist Kimberly A. Laudert. This one-night event is a reveal and celebration of the weaving made from a series of workshops held at Fresh Eye Gallery. 

“Unpacking Our Histories is a continuation of my commitment to providing art and art experiences for those of us living with mental health issues/illness,” Kimberly shares. “In a 4-part community building set of activities, participants reflect upon and honor our lives through the creation of a collaborative weaving.” Incorporated are symbols of and/or actual items from participant lives. This project honors the history of the individual and underscores the commonality of the collective experience.

Free and open to the public. Live music from Joel Shapira. ASL interpreter will be present. Coffee drinks and refreshments provided.

This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
