DESCRIPTION:Pages of Pride: Junk Journal Workshop with Kyra Pope\n\n\nIn this activity\, led by mixed media artist Kyra Pope\, participants are invited to decorate the cover of their own handmade junk journal using a wide range of recycled and collage materials. These journals serve as a personal space to explore joy\, identity\, and self-expression! \nThis activity celebrates Black creativity\, hair empowerment\, and affirmation\, encouraging everyone to experiment with layering\, color\, words\, and texture.The goal isn’t perfection—it’s expression. \nNo experience is needed! If you can tear paper and place a sticker\, you can create something beautiful. \nParticipants can take home their journal to continue exploring their voice\, story\, or simply to collect thoughts\, memories\, or dreams. \nWhat to expect: \n\nNo experience needed\nEngaging and communal space\nTake home a custom journal!\n\nAbout the Artist: \nKyra Pope\, a multidisciplinary artist\, fine art student\, and hairstylist explores themes of identity\, faith\, and transformation in her art\, using acrylics\, oils\, and collage. She often creates intimate\, story-driven pieces that reflect her lived experiences as a Black Woman; her practice is rooted in personal narrative. Kyra is a firm believer of the need and right of expression\, so as a passionate artist\, she strives to build community through art\, as well as create a space for underrepresented voices. Much of her work is centered around empowerment and the language of adornment; treating the creative process as both an archive and an offering. \n“I’m constantly inspired and grounded by the voices\, hands\, and stories that show up in shared spaces like this.” \nThis workshop is offered as part of ongoing creative programming for the Lansdowne community in an LEDC-associated space\, supporting artists who want to try something new in a relaxed\, collaborative environment. \nAges:\nRecommended for ages 10+\, with anyone age 10 – 16 required to have an accompanying adult present. Our goal for this time is to have an intergenerational conversation where the community can discuss their differing and shared experiences. \n—— \nParking:\n\nStreet Parking is metered.\nThere is ample street parking on Baltimore Ave. The Highland Avenue parking lot (18 N Highland Ave.) is brightly lit and half a block away.\n\nFirst Floor Accessibility\n\nInclusive Design: Our first floor is designed to be inclusive and ensure accessibility for all.\nApproachable Entrance: Our entrance is approachable to all who enter\, providing ease of access for everyone.\nAccessible Restroom: We offer an accessible gender-neutral bathroom for the convenience of all visitors.\nWide Hallways: Our hallway is wide enough to accommodate wheelchair users\, ensuring smooth and easy navigation.
