SUMMARY:Terroir and Territory: ART WORKS Project Year-End Event
DESCRIPTION:ART WORKS Projects is delighted to invite you to a special celebration as we prepare for the 10th anniversary of the Emerging Lens Fellowship Program in 2025. To commemorate this milestone\, we are hosting an evening of wine tasting and an exhibition that celebrates a decade of transformative storytelling through photography and visual art. \nThe event will feature the work of 2023-24 Fellows Astrig Agopian and Natalia Favre\, whose projects illuminate the enduring connection between land\, identity\, and resilience. The concept of terroir finds unique resonance in their work\, where natural elements like soil and climate shape and preserve cultural heritage. In terroir studies\, soil is not merely a physical medium but a vessel for memory\, carrying layers of meaning that reflect the past and inform the present. This connection becomes the foundation of both artists’ narratives\, as their projects remind us that land is more than terrain—it is a living repository of memory and cultural identity. \nIn Like There’s No Tomorrow\, Astrig Agopian explores how soil and landscape serve as anchors of cultural identity for displaced Armenians\, using land to preserve memory and foster resilience. Similarly\, Maloneras\, Seeds of Resistance by Natalia Favre sheds light on the struggle of Indigenous women in northern Argentina to protect their ancestral land from the environmental and social consequences of lithium mining. Both projects demonstrate how land\, like terroir in winemaking\, shapes unique and enduring narratives\, becoming symbols of resistance\, identity\, and heritage. \nJoin us for this memorable celebration where we will explore the powerful stories behind these works while enjoying a curated wine tasting experience that embodies the rich symbolism of land and place. Together\, we will reflect on a decade of impactful storytelling through the Emerging Lens Fellowship and toast to a future of continued creative exploration and cultural preservation. \nWe hope you will join us for this sensory evening dedicated to the resilience and beauty of land\, culture\, and community! \nEVENT TICKET INCLUDES: \nThree wine-tasting stations featuring 3-5 wines from select regions including: \n\nJujuy/Andean Region of Argentina and Chile\nArmenia\, Azerbaijan\, and Georgia\nSyria and Lebanon\n\nThere will also be heavy appetizers\, additional beverages including non-alcoholic refreshments\, and desserts.
