Piscataway artist, Ayanna Proctor, will discuss her new installation representing life in the village. The event will include a hands-on display of cultural items, a Q&A session, and light snacks.
Ayanna Proctor is an enrolled tribal citizen of the Piscataway Nation (Turtle Clan). Her inspiration is continuously derived from her Eastern Woodland heritage, rewilding and time spent in New England winters and the Shenandoah Valley. Ayanna is an award-winning quillwork artist as well as a cultural preservationist and historian. She practices traditional woodland farming, hide tanning, wild-crafting, as well as other ancestral skills. Her artwork has been exhibited in the US, Canada and Europe.
This art installation is made possible by grants through the St. Mary's County Arts Council.
