SUMMARY:Repair and Renew: A Visible Mending Workshop with Deepika Prakash
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, March 17\, 5:30 pm – 7:30 pm \n\n\n\nCourtesy Deepika Prakash\n\n\n\nRepair and Renew is a hands-on\, slow-making workshop that invites participants to explore visible mending and meditative hand-sewing as both a practical skill and a reflective creative practice. Through simple stitches and intentional repair\, participants will learn how caring for textiles can deepen our relationship with materials\, reduce waste\, and encourage a more mindful approach to consumption.  \n\n\n\nSet within the inspiring environment of the exhibition A Sentient Land\, this workshop draws parallels between attention to materials and mending—both acts of care\, patience\, observation\, and renewal. Participants will leave not only with a repaired garment\, but with foundational hand-sewing skills and a renewed appreciation for sustainability\, imperfection\, and craft.  \n\n\n\nWhat to bring: \n\n\n\n\nSmall scissors\n\n\n\nJeans which need repair\n\n\n\n\nWe will provide: \n\n\n\n\nHand sewing needles and thread\n\n\n\nSome sewing supplies to share\n\n\n\n\nExample of Visible Mending Jeans\, image Courtesy Deepika Prakash\n\n\n\nAbout the Instructor: Deepika Prakash is a textile educator\, community organizer\, and founder of PatternReview.com\, an international sewing community with over half a million members worldwide. She has taught Repair & Renew workshops for libraries and community organizations across Massachusetts for the past two years\, covering topics such as visible and invisible mending\, meditative hand-sewing\, repairing sweaters and socks\, hemming pants\, and upcycling through hand embroidery.  \n\n\n\nDeepika is deeply passionate about sustainability and teaching practical life skills that empower people to extend the life of their belongings and reduce their environmental footprint. Her community work spans over a decade in Acton and Boxborough\, including organizing cultural events\, mentoring youth programs\, and leading inclusive educational initiatives.  \n\n\n\nShe has delivered keynote addresses at national sewing conferences\, contributed to sewing publications and podcasts\, and is the co-author of 1\,000 Clever Sewing Shortcuts & Tips\, with all royalties donated to charity.

SUMMARY:In Conversation: Julia Krupa and Eileen Ryan
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, March 26\, 12–1 PM \n\n\n\nJoin us for a conversation with artists Julia Krupa and Eileen Ryan as they discuss their work in A Sentient Land: Aesthetic Alliances with Forests\, Beetles\, Salt\, and Air. \n\n\n\nKrupa and Ryan will explore their innovative artistic practices that blur the boundaries between creator and material. Through methods\, including oral history and specimen collection\, forge collaborative relationships with natural elements—inviting beetles and herbs to become active participants in the creative process. \n\n\n\nThis conversation delves into the intersections of science\, aesthetics\, and spirituality that shape their work. Together\, these artists\, who created immersive installations in A Sentient Land\, address questions central to the exhibition: How do we translate on behalf of non-human materials? What role do speculation and anthropomorphism play in fostering interspecies connections? How can artistic practice generate greater empathy and hope for our shared future? \n\n\n\nFree and open to the public. A Sentient Land: Aesthetic Alliances with Forests\, Beetles\, Salt\, and Air is on view through March 28\, 2026\, at Emerson Contemporary\, 25 Avery Street\, Boston.
