Eirini Linardaki — What is to Come.

136 Avenue C 136 Avenue C, New York, NY, United States

The Lower Eastside Girls Club invites you to join us Friday, February 15, 2019 5-8 pm to celebrate our Artist-In-Residence Eirini Linardaki and view “What is to Come” An installation by the Girls Club & Eirini Linardaki Eirini Linardaki is a Greek-French artist who works between New York and the island of Crete. During her stay from January to February 2019, she worked with our girls to create colorful prints of explosions and a magnetic, interactive installation that places the viewer as both an actor and performer of that piece. The drawing installation is made with magnetic, fluorescent surfaces that are interchangeable and guests are invited to create their own composition. Working with different textile patterns, inspired by the diversity of our girls, they also created digital collages which celebrate power, joy and potential for change. Together we are the power of change.
