Super Soil Cycles with Emilie Houssart and Briana Gary

Location: Neighborhood Print Studio, Midtown Arts District

Address: 49 Greenkill Avenue, Kingston, NY 12401

Date: 28 Apr

Workshop:

Join us for a playful, interactive soil and compost workshop! Briana Gary (environmental educator, YMCA Kingston) and Emilie Houssart (artist, The DIRT Project) collaborate to bring you a creative and hands-on exploration about the language, psychology and physicality of earth. Participants will explore their own relationships with the ground as we examine what it means to be part of an ecosystem; then learn all about composting, including how to make compost in your home or backyard. Be ready to open your mind and get your hands dirty.

Teaching Artist: Briana Gary & Emilie Houssart

Briana Gary is the Conservation Pathways Coordinator at the Kingston YMCA Farm Project. Briana first joined the farm in 2017 as a youth crew member and has since worked with the farm throughout the years. Through the farm she discovered her passion for environmental conservation and sustainability. She attended Suny New Paltz and holds a bachelors in Geography. In 2021 she served with Americorps in Central Idaho where she worked on a nature preserve further deepening her love for the natural world. Briana’s main role at the farm is to create pathways for youth to discover the environmental conservation field.

Emilie Houssart is a Dutch American artist and curator based in the Hudson Valley who explores inherited systems of food and land. With a practice based in absurdist performance and living sculptural installations, she creates spaces to collaboratively reimagine success. Through The DIRT Project, she holds interactive workshops and art-based experiences for all ages that invite play with earth, linguistics and identity, nurturing our relationships with invisible life forms inside the body and underfoot. Houssart teaches at SUNY New Paltz and is Artistic Director at Unison Arts.
