What is a landscape? Can it speak, feel, and hear as much as a person? Can we create landscapes the same way that we paint portraits? Work alongside Van Lier Fellow and exhibiting artist Camille Hoffman to create a mixed-media landscape that acts as a self-portrait. Drawing from personal narratives as well as materials collected from everyday life, participants will use painting, collage, and storytelling to craft new landscapes that speak to the outside world as much as to our own world within.

At 10:30 am, join us for MADreads, which combines interactive story time and visual exploration to bring books to life. Taking place within Hoffman’s immersive installation Pieceable Kingdom, this week’s iteration welcomes kids and their families for a reading of Robert B. Goodman’s Urashima Taro, which inspired Hoffman as a child.
