I was honored and grateful to participate in the Queens Public Library Black History Month Events. There were 4 Fashion Doll Workshops, where participates used their own fashion/art/craft creativity. Below are 3 videos form a few of the classes.
Queens Village
This library had a smaller participation, but the few that came were filled with creativity. One lady had no craft knowledge, but was really eager to learn. She really needed no instruction.

Chris Heller (Choreographer) explores being Visible/Invisible through the eyes of the dancers from ZCo Dance Project. This is a powerful performance and the exploration of how we see people and not see them and our own visibility in the world.

First we hug it out, so many of us hadn't seen each other in person for almost 2 years.
My good friends share their journey with Creativity and Care.
This event was October 20, 2021, at the Venue in Harlem. I had to share the hugs and love when friends came through to hear these ladies talk about their journey of taking care of parents and their art.
This was a live performance and collaboration of ZCo Dance Project and Cassandra Bromfield’s Design. The performance made possible through a grant from City Artist Corp.
