SUMMARY:Amulet Making with Rachel Leah Cohen
DESCRIPTION:Throughout the Jewish diaspora\, people have created small pouch amulets to hold anything with protective energy and value. These are often made with everyday materials already on hand: medicinal plants\, salt\, metal\, stones\, and symbolic objects. The recipes and the names for these amulets vary by place. In Ladino-speaking Sephardic communities\, they are called “bulsika” and in Yiddish-speaking Ashkenazi communities\, “baytelech.” The ingredients connect us to our ancestors\, the environment\, and the places we live. The pouch can be worn on the body\, kept in a pocket\, or hung up in the home. Come make an amulet for yourself or as a gift for someone else\, as an embodied ritual of care\, connection\, and protection.\nAbout: Rachel Leah Cohn is a visual artist and educator based in Indianapolis. Her muliti-disciplinary practice is concerned with themes of communication\, mythology and rituals. She exhibits her work internationally and teaches at Ball State University in Muncie\, IN.\nSPARK is a partnership with Downtown Indy\, the City of Indianapolis\, and the Indiana War Memorials Commission — and funded by the Capital Improvements Board. It is a continuation of our work last year and in 2015 on the Circle.\nAt Big Car\, we approach our work at the Circle as a site- and community-specific socially engaged art and creative placemaking project. The SPARK on the Circle pop-up park was collaboratively designed with Indianapolis-based Merritt Chase to be a restorative public place where people of all walks of life can relax\, play\, socialize\, and engage with art and artists in the heart of our city.
