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.

SUMMARY:Circle Side Chats with Deedee Davis
DESCRIPTION:The Magic Circle \n In October of 1900\, the Fall Festivities Society of Indianapolis promoted a week-long carnival with its central focus being the Magic Circle. Monument Circle was transformed with a dizzying array of attractions\, parades\, performers and animals all in the glow of “electric illuminations.” Yet\, despite all the enchantment\, the Magic Circle Carnival was a one-time marvel in Indianapolis’ history. \nBio: Deedee Davis is a Herron-Morton resident with an interest in Indianapolis history\, specifically historic residential architecture and Greenlawn Cemetery. She oversees digital collections for the Herron School of Art Library at IUPUI. \nCircle Side Chats is in partnership with Indiana Humanities. Indiana Humanities is a statewide nonprofit that infuses the humanities into our daily lives. We do this by providing grants\, convening discussions\, uplifting humanities scholars\, spotlighting humanities organizations and activities\, and creating our own programs that help Hoosiers think\, read and talk. \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.

SUMMARY:Cyanotype Workshop with Aurora PhotoCenter
DESCRIPTION:Cyanotype is a camera-less photography made out in the sun\, rather than in a darkroom. You place objects — such as plants — on top of a piece of photo-treated paper\, and then use the sun to expose the paper. The result is an image that is an exact outline of the object. It’s a fun and magical way to engage photography! Although it may be new to modern people\, cyanotype has been around since photography was invented in the 1800s.\nCome explore the creative possibilities of this fascinating process!\nWe will have some objects on hand to experiment with\, but feel free to bring your own objects. Flat items usually work best\, and cyanotype can be messy\, so precious things like family heirlooms should probably stay at home. All other necessary materials will be provided free at the workshop.\nIn partnership with Aurora PhotoCenter for SPARK on the Circle.\nThis activity is best suited for artists 7+ years old; minors must be accompanied by an adult.\n\nWho?

SUMMARY:Cyanotype Workshop with Asli Narin
DESCRIPTION:Cyanotype is a camera-less photography made out in the sun\, rather than in a darkroom. You place objects — such as plants — on top of a piece of photo-treated paper\, and then use the sun to expose the paper. The result is an image that is an exact outline of the object. It’s a fun and magical way to engage photography! Although it may be new to modern people\, cyanotype has been around since photography was invented in the 1800s.\n\nCome explore the creative possibilities of this fascinating process with Indianapolis-based artist Asli Narin. Narin often incorporates cyanotype into her artistic practice. She will give a short talk about cyanotype at the beginning of each hour\, and then you will make your own cyanotypes with Narin’s assistance.\n\nWe will have some objects on hand to experiment with\, but feel free to bring your own objects. Flat items usually work best\, and cyanotype can be messy\, so precious things like family heirlooms should probably stay at home. All other necessary materials will be provided free at the workshop.\n\nThis activity is best suited for artists 7+ years old; minors must be accompanied by an adult.\n\nAsli Narin (1985\, Istanbul) is a visual artist and an educator based in Indianapolis\, US. Narin’s artistic practice is based on photography as well as video\, installation\, and performance\, inspired by nature and the cities. Taking inspiration from walking and wandering\, she explores the human experience through forms and abstractions. Her subjects are often the thresholds and dualities of life.\n\nImage: Anna Atkins is famous for these cyanotypes she made of British algae in the 1840s. A book she made out of her cyanotypes is considered to be the first photobook ever made.\n\nIn partnership with Aurora PhotoCenter for SPARK on the Circle
