NOTE: ReCollections is intended for individuals living with Alzheimer's and related dementias and their families/caregivers.
The January and February sessions of ReCollections will explore how families in Mata Ortiz have transformed and preserved a ceramic tradition that dates back to pre-colonial times. Then, we’ll get our hands dirty and explore the handbuilding techniques used by Mata Ortiz potters to create our very own clay vessels.
ReCollections represents a partnership between the San Antonio Museum of Art, the Glenn Biggs Institute for Alzheimer’s and Neurodegenerative Diseases, UT Health San Antonio, the Alzheimer’s Association, and Grace Place to deliver art museum experiences to the community of people living with Alzheimer’s and related dementias, as well as their families and caregivers.
Sessions include facilitated conversations inspired by artworks in the Museum’s collection to encourage close-looking, reminiscence, and storytelling, followed by hands-on artmaking.
