Mapping Change: A Workshop

-

Location: Raclin Murphy Museum of Art + Main Library, St. Joseph County Public Library, 304 S. Main Street, South Bend (View on map )

A mixed-media artwork on a crumpled piece of brown paper resembling a map. Black ink illustrations of plants, a celestial body, and map markings cover the surface. Shipping labels, barcodes, and recycling symbols are collaged onto the paper. Text fragments such as "MARTE," "RECYCLABLE," and the phrase "So happy we found each other" are visible, adding layers of meaning to the composition. A grid pattern and numerical markings suggest cartographic elements.

This two-part workshop examines how mapping places, both big and small, shapes our understanding of space, time, and our role in the world. The first session will take place at the Raclin Murphy Museum of Art and explores works in the exhibition Clarissa Tossin: All That You Touch, You Change. The second session (Saturday, April 5, 3:00–4:00 p.m.) will take place at the Main Library and will focus on creating works of art using local maps and images to connect more deeply with our community's past, present, and future.
