Alterwitz and Stone offer a variety of educational components in conjunction with this exhibition. They will be available for gallery talks and discussions about their works, creative writing exercises, hands on workshops and can work closely with your community and educators.
Alterwitz and Stone share an interest in wellness and encourage reflection on the basic elements of life that are often the most taken for granted - breath and appreciating the individual connections each of us have to the earth, our surroundings, and the people that connect us with a sense of place. Experienced instructors , the artists stimulate critical thinking in students and groups of all ages. In each of the presentations, Alterwitz and Stone ask these questions: “What does it really mean to be earthborn?
What connections are important and vital in your life?”
