About the Workshop
In this workshop, we will turn our attention toward the fluidity it requires to be a structure in the worlds we create as we awaken to them.
We will support this exploration through attunement to our bones and the waters they keep. As we consult in our ancestral fluid bones, we counsel in ancient stories. There we may find layers of pain, hymns of hope, yearning, prayers, spells, direction, and guidance for discernment of how to let in and how to let go into altered cellular forms.
This call and response will be guided by a practice of self touch and writing. You are encouraged to bring a bowl of water, comfy clothes, and something to write/draw with and on, as well as anything that feels intuitively supportive for you. Bridgette will offer aftercare suggestions ahead of the workshop.
BRIDGETTE HICKEY activates portals through practices of stimming, and elemental attunement. They explore fragmentation and belonging with prose, somatic story, song, and textiles.
They are a multisensory archivist, collective herbalist, poet, and care worker currently developing their skills in textiles, education, and grief facilitation. She has been led here through a remembering of her family's Black Gullah, Irish, and Nipmuc lifeways.
Bird has a background in medical anthropology with a focus on state inflicted intimate violence and chronic illness. She has an appreciation for relational neuroscience and somatics: the ways our sinew hold stories of joy, pain, love, and guidance for the beyond.
Bridgette’s work Doing My Hair was included in an artist talk alongside Lisa Jarrett, Sharita Towne, and Susana Pilar Delahanate Matienzo in 2015. In 2020 Bridgette collaborated with Salimatu Amabebe’s love letters to black folks creating flower and environmental literary essences. They are featured on the Water in The Desert website as one of the 2020 Switch artists in residency alongside Intisar Abioto, Sidony O’neal, Yawa Amenta, and Ni Abioto. Bridgette is a spring 2022 recipient of a make build learn RACC grant to support her current herbal textile work Beloved Fragments in collaboration with Adriene Cruz, 2022 PLAYA resident, and fall 2022 resident at Sitka Center for Art and Ecology.
