Poetics of Repair: Being Earth. Being Water is now open to the University of Massachusetts community at the Augusta Savage Gallery in the New Africa Building, Tuesdays - Thursdays 2:00-5:00 pm. The space can accommodate two visitors at a time. Timed tickets can be reserved here: Augusta Savage Gallery Tickets. The online workshops in April are open to the public.
There are 2,700 cranes hanging in the space. I hope to fill in the space on the left with 900 more for a total of 3,600, in honor of the Siberian Cranes alive in the world today. You can contribute to the cranes by registering for paper and instructions here: Poetics of Repair at Augusta Savage Gallery. You can also purchase your own joss paper (see note below). Please mail folded cranes to the following address:
Women of Color Leadership Network, 180 Infirmary Way, Room 127, Amherst, MA 01003.
Note about paper** Cranes and horseshoe crabs need to be folded with square sheets of paper. The joss paper supplied is not exactly square, but I have trimmed it square. If you acquire joss paper from your own source, it needs to be trimmed about half an inch to make it square.
