Biomythography: Un-Panel Workshop

Biomythography: Un-Panel Workshop

Organized and facilitated by Dorit Cypis and Holly Tempo, this workshop trains participants in creating open dialogues and resolving conflict while addressing themes from the art exhibition Biomythography: Currency Exchange.

Cypis is an Israeli-born visual artist and innovative professional mediator. Her work explores themes of history, identity and social relations and has been presented in diverse cultural contexts in the United States and internationally. She is a founding member of Mediators Beyond Borders International and the co-founder and educator of the North East Youth Council. She earned a Master of Fine Arts from California Institute for the Arts and a Master of Dispute Resolution from Pepperdine University. In 2014, she was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship and a Rauschenberg Foundation Residency.

Tempo is an associate professor of painting at Otis College of Art and Design who is known for her labor-intensive paintings and site-specific pieces. Her work, which utilizes urban tropes such as trash, graffiti and cardboard used by the homeless to create shelter, has been shown extensively in Southern California as well as in India, Spain, Great Britain, France, the Netherlands, Israel and Central America. Tempo holds an MFA from the Claremont Graduate University.

Admission is free, but space is limited. RSVP by Jan. 10.
