Dreaming Landscapes: A Workshop with Cydney Lewis

In partnership with the UIC Heritage Garden.

“Earthly Visions” exhibiting artist Cydney Lewis draws from nature, the built environment, and technology to create unearthly collaged landscapes. In her sculptures, urban spaces collide with reassembled bodies and found materials to bring out new growth and speculative futures. 

For this workshop, Lewis speaks about her practice and leads a collage workshop inspired by the landscape on the east side of UIC’s campus. The workshop will begin with a tour of the UIC Heritage Garden, eight satellite gardens on the east side of campus maintained by students whose work connects horticulture with sustainability and social justice. After the tour, we will return to Gallery 400 to take a closer look at Lewis’ artwork and create collages to be displayed in the Heritage Garden. 

Registration is required for this workshop. Meet outside the UIC Latino Cultural Center.

This program is free and open to the public. For questions and access accommodations, email gallery400engagement@gmail.com.
