Painting Together Quietly
Art Education and Office of Justice, Equity, and Transformation present: Residency with Bergman & Salinas
Arnheim Gallery | March 11–18

Bergman & Salinas are in residence at MassArt, collaborating with students, faculty, and the public to build a collective installation of ink-painted cardboard box walls in the Arnheim Gallery.

Using cardboard—an indicator of global consumer markets—and black ink—derived from soot and the carbon cycle—the project invites slow, shared painting as a way of thinking through material, labor, and care in times of crisis. No prior experience is necessary. All materials will be provided.

Wednesday, March 11 | 4–6pm

Conversation + Workshop. Painting in times of crisis with TUAG Curator Laurel V. McLaughlin

Thursday, March 12 | 4–6pm

Lecture + Workshop. Agriculture as culture and ink as material
