RSVP required.
Join Tharini Sankarasubramanian (2024 RU alum) in this workshop to identify imagery/ symbols and text that speak to us, and assemble them into works that connect to a personal narrative/ mythology. The artist will provide magazines, scissors, exacto knife, glue and cutting board, as well as some art supplies – pastels, crayons.
Feel free to bring your own magazines, images, photographs (of yourself, family, friends, etc) and art supplies!
This initiative is part of a series of 20 workshops designed to provide post residency support to RU’s local alumni artists. Curated by alum curator Hayley Ferber, the workshops are centered on the theme of creative engagement with the natural environment, inviting participants to explore processes of reuse, observation, material experimentation, and collective making.

About
Tharini Sankarasubramanian works across drawing, painting, and fiber art. Her practice is grounded in symbolic language, geometric abstraction, and her ongoing study of Indian philosophy, esoteric traditions, and the unseen forces that animate the world.
Shaped by her upbringing in India, her work moves between the personal and the metaphysical. She holds an MFA in Graphic Design and Visual Experience from the Savannah College of Art and Design. In 2024, she completed a residency at Residency Unlimited in Brooklyn, NY. The interview, Summoning Unity: A Conversation with Tharini Sankarasubramanian, was published by Apotheosis Art in 2023.
If you require any accessibility accommodations, please let us know at info@residencyunlimited.org when you RSVP and we will be happy to assist.
This project is supported in part by the National Endowment for the Arts.
