About this Event
Flowerhands is a natural nail dye workshop based in the traditional practices of Korean women dyeing their nails using the petals and leaves of the rose balsam (impatiens balsamina) flower.
Participate in a multi/intergenerational workshop, cultivating a space of sharing practices of self and community care with one another, rooted in Kenworthy's own memories of care embodied, delving into gestures of adornment as the place of collective liberation. All are welcome to participate, attendees are encouraged to invite an elder, your kids, a childhood friend.
"The Korean word for the flower is called bongseonhwa (봉숭아), in English it’s known as rose balsam, its scientific name is impatiens balsamina. Flowerhands Workshop will include a how-to riso print zine and seeds that originated from the bongseonhwa flowers my mother and I grew together in our garden during the pandemic."
