How do materials exemplify different socio-cultural meanings and values? How are our cultures and identities expressed through pattern and self-styling? Inspired by the textile works of Derrick Adams in Packaged Black: Derrick Adams and Barbara Earl Thomas, designers Corinn Bleck and Jáiz Boyd will guide ArtVentures participants to create visual narratives of identity through the use of pattern and different combinations of textiles. Jaiz and Corinn will engage participants in hands-on activities, sewing tutorials, and discussions on the history of sewing and sustainable textile practices.

Childhood is idyllic and brutal; it passes quickly but can feel never-ending. Experiences of childhood vary significantly according to one’s family situation and culture, and expectations of children and their formative years have changed significantly over time. Join us to see how some of the artists in the Henry’s collection have represented children and childhood. Re/frame is a recurring program that delves into the Henry's extensive collection, highlighting a different group of objects each month. Join us for group discussions and the opportunity to see art rarely on public view.

How can our bodies help us understand or imagine how liberation looks and feels? Join dance artist Cheryl Delostrinos for this intergenerational movement workshop in conversation with Donna Huanca: Magma Slit. Huanca’s installation is a complete sensory experience, evoking slippages of space and time that invite participants to both find and lose themselves, thus creating the conditions for liberatory meditation. Pausing within these slippages, Delostrinos will guide participants to celebrate the beautiful shapes, woven complexities, and hardworking vessels of our bodies.

Light allows us to perceive our surroundings, it shows us the path ahead, and it focuses our attention. It evokes emotions and sensations, bringing us comfort, highlighting tension, or provoking playfulness, to name a few. Join us to experience and discuss the many forms and effects of light in a selection of works from the Henry’s collection. Re/frame is a recurring program that delves into the Henry's extensive collection, highlighting a different group of objects each month.
