Bodies as Primary Sites of Learning – Body Mapping Workshop on Zoom

Guests join the Slanguage opening reception at Angels Gate Cultural Center

Join Angels Gate Cultural Center and artist Sarita Dougherty of the DIY PhD in an one-hour movement and mapping workshop on Zoom in conjunction with her installation at We Run Things, Things Don’t Run We. 

Connect with the medicine and messages held in your body. The workshop will open channels of energy in the body through simple movement and breathwork, listen to what your cuerpo (body) wants to teach you, and map intentions that you are calling in for various aspects of your life. As extensions of the planet, nuestros seres ~ your being, holds the keys to humans’ collective survival.

Bodies as Primary Sites of Learning is an auxiliary program of We Run Things, Things Don’t Run We, celebrating 20 years of Slanguage Studios artists, on view in the AGCC Gallery.

Sarita Dougherty is an interdisciplinary artist collaborating with habitat, elders, ancestors, children to grow the Ecocene, an imagined and emergent era of collective reciprocity with the Earth. Her paintings transfer the medicine of place and plants onto viewers. Sarita is a co-founder and worker-owner of School for the Ecocene, offering an online platform and programs to support our connection to self, community and planet. She stewards the native meadows and rain gardens while painting what she learns in the Ohlone lands of Huchiun, aka the East Bay of California. Visit ecocene.school and roomportraits.com to learn more about her work. Her work is also currently on view at Angels Gate Cultural Center in We Run Things, Things Don’t Run We.

We Run Things, Things Don’t Run We celebrates twenty years of Slanguage fostering spaces of deep thought and dialogue around art and identity-transformed into an expanded community of cultural producers, move-makers, and shakers. It is on view at Angels Gate Cultural Center in San Pedro, California until December 10. For more information visit angelsgateart.org
