[more+]Aisha Harrison (Olympia) presents work created over the past four years in clay, bronze, paper collage, and mixed media. Porous Body, Harrison’s first solo museum exhibition, speaks to their focus on life cycles – both human and in nature, while experiencing the world through a mixed-race, queer, mothering lens. It is a confluence of a spiritual ancestral space and the land they inhabit, relate to, grow, and decay with. Porous Body explores wonder and joy, grief, connection, and growth, and how to stay grounded in times of upheaval.

[more+]Part reading, part creative generation, this heart filling hour with Latria Graham, Bloedel’s December Creative Resident and an award-winning magazine feature writer from Spartanburg, South Carolina, is a very special offering for the community as she invites us to explore our relationships to creativity and land.
Creative writing of the past can help us understand an environment in crisis. We are all witnesses, and our observations of the weather, soil, plants, and wildlife around us present ways that we can talk about our interior lives and memories. The class will begin with a short formal reading highlighting Latria’s personal connection to the natural world and then launch into a short conversation about the art of nature writing. Participants will leave the event with writing prompts and ideas that they can continue to develop once the creative session is over.

We'll taste a selection of Japanese whiskies and learn how they're made, how they're differentiated from Scotch, and where the industry is headed after its recent period of turbulent growth.

[more+]Aisha Harrison (Olympia) presents work created over the past four years in clay, bronze, paper collage, and mixed media. Porous Body, Harrison’s first solo museum exhibition, speaks to their focus on life cycles – both human and in nature, while experiencing the world through a mixed-race, queer, mothering lens. It is a confluence of a spiritual ancestral space and the land they inhabit, relate to, grow, and decay with. Porous Body explores wonder and joy, grief, connection, and growth, and how to stay grounded in times of upheaval.

[more+]Part reading, part creative generation, this heart filling hour with Latria Graham, Bloedel’s December Creative Resident and an award-winning magazine feature writer from Spartanburg, South Carolina, is a very special offering for the community as she invites us to explore our relationships to creativity and land.
Creative writing of the past can help us understand an environment in crisis. We are all witnesses, and our observations of the weather, soil, plants, and wildlife around us present ways that we can talk about our interior lives and memories. The class will begin with a short formal reading highlighting Latria’s personal connection to the natural world and then launch into a short conversation about the art of nature writing. Participants will leave the event with writing prompts and ideas that they can continue to develop once the creative session is over.

With unforgettable characters, stunning choral music, and breathtaking theatricality, this production resonates with the timeless themes of identity, compassion, and the price of justice.
