With local artist, Bearing Witness Gaza Â
Bearing Witness Gaza is an ongoing creative grief-processing practice combining art and elements of nature. Please come share virtual space with us at a challenging time for our joint humanity and hear from a local artist about her practice. To process and cope with the immense emotions that arose as a response to the escalating civilian suffering in Gaza, she turned to nature and the technique of chlorophyll printing. She will share how applying the images of Gaza to fresh leaves has allowed her to process and find her own humanity and resilience amid her grief and sorrow. Look for a hands-on chlorophyll printing workshop on May 17 led by the same artist. Â
