Artist and climate activist Monica Jahan Bose

video journalist Robin Bell [http://bellvisuals.com/] are launching
WARMING WATERS, a new temporary public art project, and need your help
to create it! WARMING WATERS
[http://storytellingwithsaris.com/event/warming-waters-installation/?instance_id=343]
will drape the C&O Canal wall in Georgetown behind Dean and Deluca
with massive colorful cotton fabric saris from Bangladesh covered with
printmaking and writing about climate change by residents of
WASHINGTON and Katakhali Village, Bangladesh along with video
projections on the saris and trees in the evenings. The temporary
installation will be for four consecutive days around Earth Day 2020,
from April 22-25. Monica is collaborating with community members to
create these saris.
We seek paid assistants* (at least age 15) to sign up for the
workshops. Participants will learn woodblock printing, create
artwork that will be displayed, and discuss and learn about the
effects of climate change.
*_Spots are LIMITED. We will be working on 2 saris per WORKSHOP AND
ONLY HAVE SPOTS FOR 15 PEOPLE EACH TIME. Please email
