Aspen Monet Laboy is an interdisciplinary artist from Omaha, Nebraska working in poetry, glass sculpting, installation, and film photography. Exploring concepts of environmentalism, internal identity, and cultural heritage, they are influenced by nature, science, and philosophy. Their main focus is sculpting with words and fragments to express moments in time.

Aspen M. Laboy will lead a workshop on identity and memory. Participants will explore how they form their concept of self individually and collectively through writing and the act of creation. You will explore through making mosaics the process of creating a visual memory of who you are. (20 participants max)
