Inspired by the community healing Candy Alexandra has experienced both in fat liberationist spaces and QPOC spaces, Candy Alexandra facilitated a series of pulp painting workshops as an artist-in-residence at Mount Holyoke that were grounded in community healing. The artwork created both by workshop participants and Candy Alexandra explore the following questions: How do you define community? Who lifts you up and how do they lift you up? How do you want to show up in community?

The exhibition will be on display through the month of April during regular Greenhouse hours. Candy’s paper installations along with all student work made during the February workshops will be installed throughout the greenhouse.

This artist talk and art installation are supported by: The Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, the Art Studio Department, the Division of Student Life, the Mount Holyoke College Art Museum, the Department of Gender Studies, the Department of Spanish, Latina/o and Latin American Studies and the Mount Holyoke College Botanic Garden.
