Socrates x Noguchi Field Guide: Connections: Mycelium

Saturday, September 21, 2024
11 am–1 pm
At Socrates Sculpture Park (32-01 Vernon Blvd)
Free with advance registration

Connect with nature through a series of experimental art-making workshops led by Noguchi Educators at nearby Socrates Sculpture Park. These workshops are free and open to all ages. Children under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult. Pre-registration is highly recommended, with a limited number of walk-up spots available. All participants will be given a free pass to visit The Noguchi Museum after the program. 

On Saturday, September 21, join Noguchi Educator Sol Aramendi for a workshop to learn about mold, fungus, and mycelium and how they support life and growth in the natural environment. Participants will explore connections in Isamu Noguchi’s work and create drawings and prints with mushrooms.

Sol Aramendi is a socially engaged artist working with immigrant communities throughout New York City. Her participatory practice promotes change around fairer labor and immigration conditions. She is the founder of Project Luz, a nomadic program that uses art as a tool of empowerment. Project Luz has taken place at The Noguchi Museum since 2011.
