SUMMARY:"Sympoeisis: making with" Opening Reception by SoCal Fibershed
DESCRIPTION:The long-awaited So Cal Fibershed art show is coming! \nThis exhibition explores how one of humanity’s oldest craft and industrial forms­––the making of clothing––has shaped our relationship to the land\, our bodies\, and each other. \nFor thousands of years\, people have transformed animal- and plant-based fiber to craft garments that clothed and protected their bodies\, offered decoration\, and ultimately engendered a radical and disruptive transformation of the earth\, cultures\, and economies. Many of us recognize fashion as aspirational\, highly profitable\, and innovative\, yet clothing’s humble origins\, necessity\, and profound implications for our wellbeing and that of the earth is under-appreciated\, and often feels mysterious. Fiber-based work embodies generations of cultural skills and concepts; our disconnections from the sources of the material we wear and the knowledge of how that material is transformed is a rupture of our natural relationships to the earth and each other. \nThis intimate exhibit is designed as a journey through local ecosystems and craft traditions\, drawing connections between soil\, plant\, animal\, work\, hand\, and body. \nSaturday\, February 25\, 2023\nOpening Reception 2 – 5 pm\nSympoeisis: making with\nat Studio 203 in Los Angeles\, CA 90034 \nExhibit runs through April 8\, 2023. \nThe exhibit is sponsored by Material Encounters\, fiscal sponsorship provided by SIMA Studios.

We are working and learning within traditional Coast Miwok Territory and collaborating with tribal community members to support\, enhance\, and care for essential plant populations that are key for the health of the ecosystem and multi-millennia honed agricultural practices. \nOur small farm includes an array of crops from multiple ancestral lines and long classical breeding histories\, all of which we grow seasonally for pigment\, dye\, and fiber. The crops we tend and harvest are used to support an array of farm-to-fashion activities\, ethnobotanical practice\, and skill building workshops that we offer to the community. We provide scholarships and fellowships to support the deepening of our cross cultural learning and appreciation for people and land.
