Art as Care - Collage Making for Grief and Loss

Join COLLIDER Artist-in-Residence Dr. Jabani Bennett for this workshop. Participants ages 60+ will explore collage techniques as a method to assemble different materials to make a whole unified image about grief and loss. Inspired by diverse artists, an expressive collage will be the goal at the end of the session. The workshop will integrate information about wellness during a global time of change to nurture a collective space of belonging, safety and deep reflection. The workshop will also feature Dr. Jabani’s favorite authors, illustrators and books that demonstrate resilience, wellness and creativity during Black History Month. At the end of the workshop, participants will gain a deeper understanding of the power of art to heal our pain. Email Liz.Magee@lfpl.org to sign up.
