🌵 About the Workshop
Join us for the next TierrArte workshop in the Power Building in the Sunbelt series, an intergenerational arts-based learning experience exploring how land, policy, and power intersect in Phoenix.

“Threading Oracles from Uneven Lands” invites participants to examine how discriminatory land-use practices, redlining, and infrastructure decisions have shaped place, access, and environmental exposure. This workshop centers creative practice as a tool for understanding harm and imagining more just futures.

Led by artist-scholar Dr. Marysol Ortega Pallanez, participants will engage in a photo-embroidery and storytelling session rooted in place-based inquiry and community reflection.

🧵 Workshop Focus
Transform images of injustice into oracle cards.
Participants will work with photographs and embroidery to reinterpret histories of land injustice and collectively envision pathways toward repair, resistance, and resilience.

🎨 What to Expect

  • Guided photo-embroidery and oracle card creation

  • Place-based learning along the Rio Salado
