Engaging Fear & Activating Curiosity Around Insects: A Storytelling Workshop

  • PS1 Close House 538 South Gilbert Street Iowa City, IA, 52240 United States (map)

In this 90 minute interactive workshop, we’ll spend time unearthing the narratives that have shaped our relationships with insects. With curiosity as our teacher, we’ll take a look at learned emotions like fear, disgust, and desire and how they shape our relationship with not only insects, but with ourselves, as well as other humans that we exist with in society. Together, we will learn new things about our little creature friends and explore new ways of relating. 

Led by Center for Afrofuturist Studies artist-in-residence Syon Davis.
