Join Verge Art Collaborative at the Library for International Women's Day to participate in their project, Red Tent: held in community.
About the project:
The red tent is a metaphorical place where women come together to create community. It is a container, a relationship. Something culture has forgotten; it is a circle, a spiral, an experience, and discussion. When women come together and hear each other's stories hold one another up in coherence and grace we create road maps to infinite ways of being, possibilities embodied in a life lived.
It is an art and community event in three parts:
- Photography ritual experience
- Exhibit container at the Squamish Library
- Circle discussion group during the week of International Women’s Day.
This is a free event, an opportunity to participate in a creative art experience, to support healing and community.
The first part is a photography project celebrating identity, presence, and feminine embodiment. Ritual photo shoots were held with local photographer Brian Aikens in his Squamish studio, supported by local therapists and healers. Participants were surrounded by flowing red fabric in a supportive setting designed to offer a joyful, embodied experience that honoured our participants' unique story and presence.
Selected photos from these sessions will be featured in a public exhibit at the Squamish Public Library during the first week of March 6th-8th, coinciding with International Women’s Day.
The Circle discussion is an extension of the community circle where women are invited to witness conversations between women about topics relevant to womanhood. These will be followed by an open discussion and questions, with time to enjoy the photo exhibit and to foster connection and conversation.
This is a unique opportunity to partake and be held in a collaborative artistic process, connect with your community, and celebrate the experiences of those with uteruses in a professional gallery setting.
