Join Lindsay Gary, MPA, MA, Saturday, June 5, from 6 to 8:30 p.m. for an AncesTREE painting and collage workshop at the Community Artists’ Collective. Gary will help participants create a collage of their family photos/history. The workshop is $55 and includes supplies.

Her exhibition “AncesTREE,” which is currently showing at The Collective, is a self-portraiture series--an extension of genealogical research wherein specific ancestries have been discovered.

The exhibition specifically explores two layers of maternal ancestry--distant ancestors in Africa represented through traditional clothing and recent ancestors represented through black and white photographs. Ultimately it is a work on identity, ancestry, history and culture and how the meeting of these ancestors (represented through a mosaic of images) parallels contemporary experiences.
