Creative Lab is an interdisciplinary workshop designed and led by Guild Hall in East Hampton’s visiting, exhibiting, and resident artists. Each Creative Lab, held in the Boots Lamb Education Center, invites participants to learn about an artists practice through both an open lecture and participatory workshop.
On November 14 from 6 to 7:30 PM the Creative Lab will be led by Shinnecock Linguist and Guild Hall Community Artist-in-Resident (GH CAiR), Wunetu Wequai Tarrant. As part of her GH CAiR, Tarrant and her collaborator, Christian Scheider, are advancing the work of The First Literature Project, and the formation of Ayím Kutoowonk (She Speaks), a collective of four Indigenous Shinnecock women working toward the reclamation and revitalization of the Shinnecock language. The project proposes to support the language reclamation efforts through the preservation of Indigenous stories, culture, and language by utilizing immersive 3D, virtual reality, and holographic technology to create two immersive orations to be exhibited at Guild Hall in Spring 2024.
The December 12 Creative Lab will be led by artist and 2019 GH Artist Member Exhibition winner, Mary Boochever. In developing her own color language, Boochever has explored sources as diverse as the Kabala and Goethe’s Color Theory. The Lab will include a tour of the artists current Guild Hall exhibition, “Mary Boochever: Chart of the Inner Warp.”
