Beyond the Studio
In a Fall 2021 collaboration with Yale Schwarzman Center, Tsai CITY will present a series of talks, workshops, and discussions by artists whose practices move beyond the studio.

This season, we will be hosting a workshop on the topic of healing spaces. With the growing need for more therapeutic, spiritual, wellness, and restorative justice spaces, where do we begin to find our way in personal and collective healing?

In this workshop, we will look deeply into our own creative practices to identify core values, explore ways to tell our stories, and strategize career paths that honor our whole selves. A guest Healer/Artist will guide our healing and artistic discussion and a guest Art Advisor will lead a workshop on storytelling and navigating creative career paths.

Participants are free to bring their whole selves, be vulnerable and open, and are expected to hold space for the concerns of others. We will collaborate on activities and final presentations on the topic of healing.

Workshop date is October 16th 2-5pm. Registration is open to all disciplines.
