SUMMARY:Art In the Open: Karla Kopalli, Nature/Nurture Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Join Karla Kopalli for Nature/Nurture, a multi-part public art project honoring the vital contributions of San Antonio’s women to their families, communities, and city. Through collective creation and performance, this project highlights the nourishing power of women as a force for thriving communities. Then, all participants are invited to return to Confluence Park on Saturday, March 8 for a special performance by the artist at 2:00pm. \nWomen of San Antonio are invited to a hands-on workshop led by Karla Kopalli to create caracolas—hand-formed clay shells symbolizing their strength, creativity, and nurturing roles. The caracola represents connection to the earth, the act of carrying and giving, and the value of women’s contributions. \nDuring this free come-and-go workshop guided by the artist, participants will reflect on their roles and contributions to their communities and shape clay by firmly closing their hand around it, forming a caracola.  \nThis collective effort seeks to create 260 ceramic caracolas, each a testament to the power and impact of the women of San Antonio. \nThen, celebrate International Women’s Day at Confluence Park with Karla Kopalli on Saturday, March 8. Karla presents the community caracolas with a performance at the BHP Pavilion at 2:00pm. All workshop participants are encouraged to attend. \nKarla Kopalli is a multidisciplinary artist and activist whose work bridges nature, sustainability, and spiritual expression through collective and regenerative art-making practices. She has completed public art projects in Australia, México, and the United States, including work for the Smithsonian Latino Museum, the National Museum of the American Indian in Washington, D.C., and the Witte Museum in San Antonio. \nArt In the Open is a San Antonio River Foundation initiative and program to support artists and engage the San Antonio River community and our visitors with contemporary art experiences. Artists are invited to present projects at Confluence Park that align with San Antonio River Foundation’s mission to enhance the river as a vibrant cultural experience and promote and encourage the conservation, stewardship, and enjoyment of the San Antonio River Basin. \n
