Gardening & Poetry Workshop @ The Well at Oxon Run
Jul 22 @ 11:00 AM – 1:00 PM
Gardening & Poetry Workshop @ The Well at Oxon Run

Join us on Tuesday, July 22, 2025 for a gardening and poetry workshop at the Well at Oxon Run, 300 Valley Ave SE, Washington, DC 20032. Bus C15 will take you right there.  You can catch the bus from Anacostia Metro.

Storytelling with Saris continues its tradition of connecting with the soil and plants.  We will be helping out at a huge urban farm, taking vegetables home, plus doing movement and breathing exercises, writing some poetry, and making art on a sari.  We will also be remembering our dear friend Sherri Gales, a big part of Storytelling with Saris for so many years.

Please sign up at this link.

The links says 11 am to 4 pm but we will only be there for two hours.  If you have joined prior Storytelling with Saris workshops, please bring with you your folder of materials — journal, pencil etc. Looking forward to seeing you!  Please email storytellingwithsaris@gmail.com with any questions or accommodation needs.

This project is supported by a grant from the DC Commission on the Arts & Humanities.

Ride the ferry from South Ferry to Governors Island with Monica Jahan Bose on September 28 at 2 pm and join her for a walkthrough tour of her installation.

LMCC’s The Arts Center at Governors Island will serve as the hub and central exhibition space for The Works on Water 2025 Triennial, a multi-site exhibition and series of public art interventions made on, in, and with bodies of water, created in response to the global climate crisis. The exhibition, curated by Emily Blumenfeld and Kendal Henry with the Works on Water team, frames the growing genre of Water Art as a defining environmental art form of the 21st century, exploring themes of access, exploitation, conservation, remediation, and care.  I’m excited to feature the “Darchira River” performance video installation in the exhibition; cinematography: Shefali Akter Shetu; music and sound design: Sonia Herrero.  I will be at the opening on Thursday, August 28, from 5-9 pm.
