Artist and climate activist Monica Jahan Bose and multimedia artist and video journalist Robin Bell are launching WARMING WATERS, a new temporary public art project, and need your help to create it!  WARMING WATERS will drape the C&O Canal wall in Georgetown behind Dean and Deluca with massive colorful cotton fabric saris from Bangladesh covered with printmaking and writing about climate change by residents of Washington and Katakhali Village, Bangladesh along with video projections on the saris and trees in the evenings. The temporary installation will be for four consecutive days around Earth Day 2020, from April 22-25. Monica is collaborating with community members to create these saris. 

We seek paid assistants* (at least age 15) to sign up for the workshops.  Participants will learn woodblock printing, create artwork that will be displayed, and discuss and learn about the effects of climate change. 

*Spots are LIMITED. We will be working on 2 saris per workshop and only have spots for 15 people each time. Please email storytellingwithsaris@gmail.com if you need to release your reservation. You must arrrive on time and fully participate to receive payment.
