Identity, Power, and Art: October 3rd: I Am My Favorite Person
Join artist SPEAKS, RiNo Art District, and RedLine Contemporary Art Center for a program series centered on exploring identity and creating art. This workshop series runs all of 2024 and ends in a group show celebrating the artwork participants create. In this series, we aim to deepen and explore our personal connections to our artistic and creative expressions. We also ask questions about how we view and understand ourselves in relation to art. What does it mean to truly“identify” with someone's artwork? What does it mean to see ourselves in our art?
This workshop series builds. Join us for each workshop to get deeper into your exploration of self and creative practice. The workshop series culminates with a group art show. Drop-ins and one-off attendees are very welcome! Participants will be provided with art-making materials. Light food and drink will be provided.
October 3rd: I Am My Favorite Person — This final workshop will be used to highlight and celebrate our favorite intersection of our own identity. Now that we have spent time really dissecting our identities, this prompt may have a different outcome than if it was given to participants during the first session.
In the hopes that these workshops have provided participants with the tools they need to create work that is an extension of their identity, this prompt should be a celebration of what participants love most about themselves. We will use this prompt to create a piece of work of any medium to express this intersection of our identity.
Meet SPEAKS — Devin Urioste was born and raised in Denver. His work is influenced by the culture he was raised in and embodies what it means to give his community a voice, and platform to speak from. His work is rooted in graffiti, skateboarding, music, street culture, social justice, and many more. (IG: @goodlooksvol.1)
