To Detroit Whimsy, With Love is a love letter to the playful and imaginative spirit of Detroiters who use whimsy as an action of radical sustainable resilience. Step into an exhibition where communal play is purposefully explored through the lens of fashion, watercolor, film, photography and sculpture to invite us to shape shift and craft our dreams beyond the hustle into a more creative and whimsical defiance.

Papermaking Workshop
1-4pm
w/ Sonia Litynskyj
BULK PULP ANIMISM gathers the paper remains of projects at Bulk Space to process into recycled, handmade paper. The focus of the workshop will be framed around the concept of animism - an acknowledgment of every living creature and ( inanimate ) objects containing an essence or even a soul based on its environment and properties. As the paper contains the essence of Bulk Space and its community centered facilitation, participants carry on these intentions of the facilitators and community into the crating of their own paper and future paper projects. The folk animist method of bringing to life or waking up our materials will also be shared through a conversation and engagement with the paper scraps itself.
This Program is free and open to the public.
