Sculpture Workshop – Attachment as Process with Jessie Demers and Trudi Lynn Smith, Wednesday, April 15th, 7-9pm

Xchanges is thrilled to welcome the Adoptee Artists Collective who will present an exhibition, poetry reading and sculpture workshop. It’s going to be a busy and creative time.

Into the Fold hopes to open a conversation on adoption, a topic that has historically been draped in shame, secrecy and lies. Three adoptees articulate concepts of belonging, attachment and identity through poems, sculptures, prints and drawings using words, paper, branches and string. From a shared lexicon of form, gesture and imagery Jessie Demers, Victoria Edgarr, and Beth Kope present works that draw meaning from the hidden folds of their histories.
