Join in the expansion of Word Play in person the Everson Museum on June 15th. Sit down with the artist and expand the interactive selection of Word Play by stuffing words together suggested via an open call. This is a great chance to have hands directly in the making of a work that will be on view at the Everson Museum this summer.
Word Play is an ongoing community informed project in which the artist, Anna Warfield, collects words from various communities they’re engaged with and translates them into a growing interactive installation. The interactive installation allows participants to play with and complete the artwork by adding and subtracting words selected from a growing pile of options (this call will add additional words to the already existing section). Through this project, Warfield and their wider community explore associations, interactivity, and play.
Submit Your Word:
In this open call, Warfield invites members of the Central New York community to offer singular words. Warfield will work to translate those words into sewn objects that participants create during the June 15th workshop. Join our creative community, and submit your word to this project here.
