As both an artist and community facilitator, Shagane Barsegian also known as Shagoh (she/her) will guide participants in creating a collaborative topography that captures our personal and cultural feelings about navigating change.
Co-creators will layer their memory, intention, & vision to a flowing tapestry of stories. Rivers are natural editors, carrying some things downstream while depositing others on banks, carving new channels while filling old ones.
