Naming The Lost
This is a Workshop sponsored by Inside Change from Within a contributor to the Naming the Lost Memorials, Mano a Mano, City Lore, and Great Small Works COVID -19 memorial project. Inside Change from Within is a non-profit organization focused on enhancing the quality of life for at risk and underrepresented communities and individuals through the arts and food equity programs. 6&B Garden member and Inside Change from Within artist on this project, Sally Young, will be facilitating the workshop. The participants will build flowers from recycled materials that will be woven into a fence wall at St. Marks on the Bowery Church from Friday October 27 through Sunday October 29. The wall is a memorial to those lost to Covid. It is also a wall of remembrance of the years that those of us survived the Pandemic and about what we lost or possibly gained at this time. Everybody Globally was affected by this. The making of flowers are memorials to those we lost and symbols of life that continues. There will also be sewn hearts that memories and drawings can be recorded on that will also be part of the woven tapestry and ribbons that names can be added to that will be interspersed with the flowers and hearts.

With original arrangements of songs by Gardel, Troilo, Salgán, Piazzolla, and others, and a playful, improvised style, Los Chantas infuse classic tangos with new life and unique flavor.
