The Ibura Art and Research Residency welcomes 4 residents biennially (in cohorts of 2 people) to connect their practice to Blue Light Junctions (BLJ) mission, values, environment and work. As part of the residency, IARR residents offer a free community engagement to conclude their time at BLJ.
Diego Borgsdorf Fuenzalida will present a conversation on his research of berry agriculture in South America and fiber practice. Understanding berries as an invisible but important frontier in the history of global capitalism and neoliberal trade, Diego’s practice shows the potential of berry-based natural dyes, weavings, and soft sculpture as beacons of a new, slow world. At the end of the artist's talk, participants will have the opportunity to participate in a collaborative weaving and paint with blueberry ink.
This workshop is free - registration required.
