SUMMARY:Plant Kin & Observation Workshop with Roots & Raven (Tanya Gluvakov)
DESCRIPTION:We will spend a creative day together in conversation with the plant world\, here\, in Guelph. Beginning outdoors on the land\, within the hilltop garden and at the rivers\, we will observe and sketch our plant kin and listen to teachings of Spring. With care and curiosity\, we will pay attention to the plant shapes\, texture\, and movements. It is an opportunity to look closely\, connect and slow down. \nAfter our time outside\, we will take a lunch break before gathering at the Civic Museum to create a collaborative art piece inspired by our observations. The piece will inhabit a cabinet located outside the main floor gallery space and will be on display for the duration of the current exhibition\, Maawnjidyang Maa: We Come Together Here. \nWe will meet at the museum at 9:30 a.m. and walk down to the art installation “At the River’s Edge\, the Grandmothers are Weaving Tomorrow” located along the Speed River in John Galt Park. This gathering is offered to community members ages 13 and over\, and will be held rain or shine. We will be providing sketch paper and materials but invite those who prefer different crafting styles to bring their own materials if they wish.  Please wear appropriate clothing and bring a blanket or portable folding chair to comfortably sit on. \nThere will be a break for lunch at 12 p.m. We encourage participants to bring their own lunch\, or to pick up lunch from a nearby food vendor. \nImage credit: Amina Lalor \nPreregistration via Eventbrite is required. \nAbout the Guest Educator\nTanya Gluvakov is a mixed Mohawk woman with family and “roots” from Six Nations of the Grand River. Growing up in Toronto\, Tanya now spearheads projects that bring resurgence of medicines and accessibility to urban communities. She grows and harvests many medicines from her own garden\, and honorably from the land and teaches workshops about the many medicines and how connecting with them can help us find our way. She is an herbalist\, mom\, teacher\, and auntie\, and proud founder of Roots and Raven\, where she welcomes indulgence in a variety of products and experiences created to help find moments of peace and remembrance of our connection to all things.
