"Braiding Care and Connection" Exhibition & Workshop, Saturday July 26th, 2 pm - 4 pm

Save the date! Join Side Street Projects and artist-in-residence Mariah Cochran for their final exhibition and workshop, “Braiding Care and Connection” at Alkebu-Lan Cultural Center on Saturday, July 26th from 2 pm through 4 pm. 

Learn or practice braiding skills using repurposed fabric strips and share stories about what care and community have looked like for you this year. Braids can be added to the Care Canopy, a collaborative art piece that celebrates the joy, connection, and cultural legacies of braiding in Black and Indigenous communities.

This exhibition will showcase the Care Canopy along with mixed media artworks that intertwine braiding with nature, inviting a moment of reflection on how we tend to ourselves, each other, and the Earth.

Mariah’s residency aims to engage participants in a reflective relationship with our environment, our bodies, and how we can care for them through the practice of braiding. The project celebrates braiding as a sacred practice, a somatic experience, and an art form that is inherently rooted in community and connection.

"Crafting Connections" Opening Exhibition by Artist Ginko Lee, April 12th | 2 pm - 4:30 pm

Artist Ginko Lee’s residency, Crafting Connections, enters its second phase with a two-week solo exhibition at Remainders Creative Reuse Gallery 787, a cornerstone of Pasadena’s upcycling and creative community. The project centers around the importance of sustainability and reuse in contemporary art through the lens of collaboration and community. Ginko’s exhibition will showcase a vibrant mix of upcycled patchwork pieces, home goods, and an interactive component using a one-of-a-kind tricycle-driven pom-pom machine, designed by Ginko and her partner, Scoop! Additionally, Kiki Joel, the store manager of Remainders will participate with their own Pom-Pom.

If you are an advocate for sustainable living or are curious about how upcycled materials can be transformed into art, join us on Saturday, April 12th from 2 pm - 4:30 pm at Remainders Creative Reuse Gallery 787. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own fabric or yarn to add to the Pom Pom Ginko and Scoop have started. The interactive component will only be available on the exhibition's opening day. The exhibition will run from April 12th through April 26th. 

Stay tuned for more on Ginko’s developing project.
