FREE CULTURE DAYS WORKSHOPS
September 21 - October 5, 2024
The Art Gallery of Regina has partnered with other organizations in our community to present events for people of all ages to connect with the land and ancestral knowledge through the work of KC Adams. Adams' exhibition owîceskoyakinikewak (s/he shapes clay or mud) integrates traditional/land-based ways of making with technology and is free to view at the Art Gallery of Regina until October 12, 2024.
During Culture Days 2024, we will present opportunities for adults and children to heal and connect to the land and water through digging and working with natural clay, considering the role of women as water keepers and discovering the little-known ceramic traditions of First Peoples of this area. Adams invites people to activate her ceramic objects through artist-built electronics that create sounds in response to participants holding hands. Adams will also speak about her career as a visual artist and projects that address stereotypes of Indigenous people.

Experiential Anatomy of the Heart
This community workshop animates how slowing down and sensing the heart can change the way we move, perceive and interpret the world inside. Using experiential anatomy, Johnson incorporates stethoscopes and somatic movement to assist participants to glimpse into the inner workings of the body.
The Moving Heart is a multi-year project created by Ashley Johnson and Karlie King that brings together internally sourced dance creation with ceramic heart sculptures. Together we ask the questions: What happens when we remove art from the walls, hold in our hands and connect it to our lived experiences? Can moving bring us closer to knowing ourselves?
About Ashley Johnson
Ashley Johnson is an artist and Registered Somatic Movement Educator trained in group facilitation and hands on bodywork as a teacher of the Mitzvah Technique/Itcush Method and Continuum Movement. As a dance artist and educator, she creates interdisciplinary site specific creations that blend embodiment practice with creative process. Find her work at www.constantlyseekingsoftness.ca
These free workshops are funded by a SK-Arts Artists-in-Communities project grant. Please check back for workshop dates (November and December, 2024) and registration information. Experiential Anatomy of the Heart is offered in conjunction with the exhibition Care (October 31, 2024 - January 12, 2025). It features artworks by Tea Gerbeza, Karishma Joshi, George Glenn and Karlie King with Ashley Johnson. The gallery will host a forum on January 12 to close the exhibition.
