SUMMARY:Future Traditions: Shared Medicines with Love Intersections
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a sensory engagement experience facilitated by our Artists-in-Residence\, Love Intersections.		\n				\n				\n				\n							As part of their artist residency at WAHC\, Love Intersections’ Jen Sungshine and David Ng invite participants into an embodied artmaking workshop that explores the question: What are the medicines that are missing from our communities\, our cultural lineages\, and ourselves? Centered on sensory engagement\, the workshop integrates dried herbs/spices and collaging\, allowing participants to connect to stories of ancestry\, healing\, and community resilience through a tactile experience.  This event is designed as an intentional break from cerebral\, conversation-heavy spaces\, shifting the focus toward embodied\, sense-making reflection. Together\, we’ll consider what medicines can be a vessel for remembering\, remaking\, and reclaiming what has been lost\, buried\, or forgotten. 						\n				\n				\n				\n					\n				\n				\n				\n					\n							\n					\n													\n															\n								\n														\n												About facilitator Jen Sungshine\n					\n					Jen Sungshine is a queer Taiwanese-Canadian interdisciplinary artist\, community facilitator\, and cultural producer based in Vancouver\, BC.

We produce intersectional and intergenerational stories from underrepresented communities of colour – centering the invisible\, the spiritual\, the metaphysical and the imaginary. We believe in deep and meaningful relationships\, that intersectionality is a verb and a call to action\, that we must cultivate social trust through collective care and community responsibility. Our desire is to provoke (he)artful social change through the lens of love. https://loveintersections.com/ \n				\n								\n				\n				\n				\n				\n							WAHC wishes to acknowledge the Ontario Arts Council\, the City of Hamilton\, the Province of Ontario\, CUPE National\, the Canada Council for the Arts\, Canada’s Building Trades Unions\, OPSEU/SEFPO and Teamsters Local Union 879 for their support of our exhibitions and ancillary programs.
