This month, we discuss and work with the magic of the everyday, exploring art and food as powerful forms of ritual and healing. Inspired by Andrea Chung's exhibition "Between Too Late and Too Early," Poet Lysz Flo will guide us through a collaborative workshop focused on the histories of particular foods and generating thoughtful recipes. Participants will also create personal memory artifacts using resin molds, drawing inspiration from Chung's sugar sculptures and incorporating herbs and plant material included in the exhibition. By blending communal exploration, material creation, and reflective practice, we reimagine the extraordinary potential within our ordinary experiences.
Lysz Flo is an AfroCaribbean Latine, polyglot, educator of creative writing, and indie author, member of The Estuary Collective, Creatively Exposed podcast host, ESESU 2023 Fellow and Obsidian Black Listening 2022 Fellow. She released her poetry novel Soliloquy of an Ice Queen, March 2020. She is a Grubstreet educator since 2020. Her poems can be found in FIYAH, Hellebore, Lolwe, Strange Horizons and has done various multimedia projects work O’ Miami.
