Join ICA LA members for an evening of making with artist, fabricator, and community organizer jinseok choi. Drawing from his ongoing participatory project Between Our Palms, members are invited to reimagine sawdust collected from choi’s woodworking labor into unique handcrafted incense sculptures.
Participants will learn the process of incense making and engage in a multisensory experience that emphasizes presence, vulnerability, and connection, while considering how materials associated with labor and waste can be transformed through ritual and creative practice. All ages welcome.
