Future Traditions: Shared Medicines

Brad Walchuk Uncategorized

What medicines are missing from our communities, our cultural lineages, and ourselves? How can medicinal substances (herbs and spices) stimulate our senses, becoming vessels for remembering, remaking, and reclaiming what has been lost, buried, or forgotten?

Vancouver-based artists Jen Sungshine (@jensungshine ) and David Ng (@davidngstagram ) of Love Intersections (@loveintersections ) invite participants into an embodied artmaking workshop that explores these questions on Thursday, June 12, 6:30-8:30pm at the Workers Arts and Heritage Centre, as part of their special one-week artist residency in Hamilton.

Centered on sensory engagement, the workshop integrates dried herbs/spices and collaging, allowing participants to connect to stories of ancestry, healing, and community resilience through a tactile experience.  This event is designed as an intentional break from cerebral, conversation-heavy spaces, shifting the focus toward embodied, sense-making reflection.

Love Intersections’ residency is supported by the incite Foundation for the Arts.
