Join Spotlight artist Bibiana Badia in “Sacred Thresholds: Weaving Ritual Spaces.” In this workshop, participants will be led through breathing and meditative exercises to ground themselves in the creation of their own personal textile altar. Participants will be led through tactile exploration, embroidery stitches, and the embellishment of their altar, which will be mounted on carved wood. The primary focus will be on intuitive, meditative embroidery, prioritizing the sensory and personal experience over technique or the final product. All materials will be provided, though participants are asked to bring a small, precious object of sentimental value.

Event Description

Step into a powerful and thought-provoking exhibition where creativity meets responsibility—an eco-friendly art show featuring works made from at least 60% reclaimed, recycled, or reused materials. Each piece has been carefully curated not only for its artistic merit but for its commitment to sustainability, reminding us that art can be a force for change. In a world with finite resources, reimagining what we discard is no longer optional—it’s essential. The idea of “throwing something away” is a myth; there is no magical away. What we toss ends up in oceans, forests, and habitats, endangering wildlife and poisoning the ecosystems we all depend on. This exhibition challenges us to see beauty in what others overlook and calls on each of us to take responsibility—to do what we can, with what we have, and to transform waste into something that inspires, uplifts, and protects the world we share.
