Ready. Set, Pause.... Art Installation 10 x 10 feet vinyl labyrinth, NYC, Shirah Rubin
How can creativity be a form of self-care? What does it mean to pause for a few moments in the midst of one’s busy day? This art LAByrinth: Ready, Set, Pause invites pedestrians to walk on the path of a labyrinth to meditate on 14th St. A listening walk offers a contemplative experience that prompts participants to connect to themselves. After the return from the “creativity center” of the labyrinth, participants receive a handmade labyrinth souvenir which reminds them to “hold” the insight they received from the listening walk.
I collaborate with organizations to co-create unique and impactful arts experiences in alignment with the needs of your community. I am happy to discuss with you what type of LAByrinth workshop best further develops your vision and elevates the conversations you would like the art to spark.
Contact me to start the conversation: coimaginearts@gmail.com. Visit LAByrinth Art workshops for more details.
