3208: A Performance by Sara Herrera

Sara Herrera's work is inspired by her family, Tejana roots, daydreaming as a little girl and growing up in her hometown of Fort Worth, Texas. Through each piece she creates, there is a taste of home, vulnerability and nostalgia.

Herrera's solo piece, 3208, is an homage to her beloved childhood home and to her hometown. Through movement, storytelling, and an ice-cold beer, 3208, sheds light on childhood memories growing up in Fort Worth and in a vibrant Latino community.

*please note there is audience participation and it is highly encouraged, but also optional, to join and have fun with the performer when kindly, and enthusiastically, asked. 

La Enorme Distancia

Installation and performance by members of Nuestra Artist Collective. Performers Sara Herrera and Tina Medina will activate an artwork featuring projections by Tesa Morin and Lupita Murillo Tinnen.

Join us for an artist talk and workshop with Coppell-based artist Kristin Boyer. Boyer will share how her experience learning Japanese has influenced her current body of work. Afterward, she will lead a workshop demonstrating the kumihimo, a traditional Japanese artform of cord-making.

Dallas-based artist Ofelia Alvarenga invites the community to participate in a collective grief process. Mending Gardens; Phase 2 is an evolving workshop, in which guests are invited to join in the collaborative action of attaching inorganic and organic materials to a colossal skirt.

The goal of the action is to dismantle negative connotations around grief, as Alvarenga views grief as the beginning of healing and a multifaceted journey not limited to sadness.
