Saturday, March 8, 2026, 1:30-4 pm RSVP
Join us for an exciting and thought-provoking afternoon of poetry, conversation, and creative exploration inspired by Presence and Absence: The Space Between. Indira Freitas Johnson will explain the premise of the exhibition. Acclaimed poet Cin Salach will share selections from her work and guide us in reflecting on a tender and universal question: how are the absent people in our lives still profoundly present? Through poetry and dialogue, we’ll begin to uncover the invisible threads that continue to bind us.
The gathering will flow into a hands-on workshop connected to the community installation Remember Me. At the heart of the exhibition is a powerful inquiry: What legacy do we leave behind? Not simply through objects or accomplishments, but through the ways we touch others’ lives—how we care, how we listen, how we make someone feel seen, and how we linger in memory long after we’re gone.
Come ready to reflect, to create, and to connect. Light snacks and drinks will be served, adding warmth and ease to the afternoon.
This is the first community event for Fellow Indira Freitas Johnson, offering a meaningful glimpse into the themes that will shape her final exhibition. We hope you’ll be part of this beginning.
