SUMMARY:Mind Maps & Personal Recollections (SOLD OUT)
DESCRIPTION:Imagination and Collective Memory: Mind-maps and Personal Recollections of a Landscape \nJoin Bloedel Reserve Creative Resident Alexa Luborsky in creating a communal Bloedel Reserve “Memory Book”. Alexa will be using the Armenian Houshamadyan and Jewish Yizker-bikher as examples. These books are moveable\, fluid memorials that recollect a physical location of a homeland. Community projects\, created by survivors\, they were meant to invite collective memorialization of a lost town in the wake of their displacement. \nThis special interactive workshop will focus on the first portion of these books\, which involve mid-maps and personal recollections of landscape. Participants will have the option to contribute to the Bloedel Reserve “Memory Book” via a drawn map and/or a written account of their experience of an area on the Reserve. We will explore connections that allow us move beyond just the physical space of the Reserve\, and into a collective understanding of place as a location of potential for connection\, community\, and survival. After the conclusion of the workshop\, the pages we created will be bound and everyone will receive a scan of this collectively created monument. \nCome prepared for weather\, as this workshop will take place both inside the Japanese Guest House and outside on the grounds. \nWHERE \nMeet at the Japanese Guest House \nWHEN \nJanuary 22\, 10:30 AM – 12:30 PM \nSOLD OUT\nCOST \nFree for Members but need to reserve a ticket\nIncluded with admission for Non-Members but need to reserve a ticket \nNot a member yet? Join here \nImage: \nMind-map  titled “Kharberd Daghtin Kartegy” or\, roughly translated\, “Kharberd Field Map\,” and shows the Oul Ova of the Kharberd Valley\, drawn by Manoog B.
