With the Soapbox Cabaret, September 25th, 7pm - 11pm
The Coloring Station is an invitation to sit together with the artist Sharone Vendriger and reflect on some of the pressing issues found in and out of today's headlines. The meditative process of coloring opens up a casual space for conversation regarding the origin of the image, generating further thoughts and questions.
The images evoke a story without text. Vendriger researched difficult topics such as human trafficking, acid burn victims, torture, financial systems, architecture, environment, and from her research has hand drawn images in the style of a coloring book. The work is presented at a table dressed with crayons and a selection of images are offered to participants and passerbys to color. The round table format seeds community and creates a space where conversation and reflection can grow.
