Senghor Reid and Hope Ginsburg with Nitika Achalam
A two-night event at Great Shiplock Park in Richmond, Virginia, for 1708 Gallery's annual InLight festival. An installation on Friday and a performance on Saturday with Senghor Reid, Nitika Achalam, Lukaza Branfman-Verissimo, HH Hiaasen, and Kenzie Smith.
"Air Patterns is a series of guided participatory exercises combining breath awareness, meditation, and movement. Reid and Ginsburg have each explored healing in their practices through the use of water and diving; In Light offers an opportunity for the two artists to collaborate. The artists, joined by Nitika Achalam of Project Yoga Richmond, and a group of illuminated meditating scuba divers will conduct the workshop. Through movement, breathing, sound, and spoken word, the audience will be invited to learn strategies for increased mindfulness and physical awareness."
