Join us for a celebration of Edward Gunawan’s new chapbook The Way Back, a hybrid poetry-prose collection about the return to self, home, and belonging. Edward will be joined by poets Noun Abdelaziz and Dawn Angelicca Barcelona.
Join us for the Tekeh Tekeh Workshop! Led by Afghan American artist Gazelle Samizay, in partnership with ARTogether, the Tekah Tekah Project (Dari: “Piece by Piece”) is a community art project designed to tell the stories of newly-arrived Afghan refugees in the Bay Area.
Tekah Tekah will be a creative space for Afghan women to tell their own stories drawing from their own narratives and cultural contexts, connecting artists with women from the Afghan refugee community to exploring creative art forms such as embroidery, textile painting, cyanotype, quilt-making, and visual storytelling.
Join us for our first in-person Artist Meet-up of the year! Hosted at our new ARTogether Center in downtown Oakland, Artist Meet-ups will be a space for immigrant, refugee, and BIPOC artists to get to know each other, talk about their works-in-progress, bounce ideas off each other and collaborate, and listen to occasional guest speakers in the art field.
