Concept: 

The SO SOFT installation is a conversation about rest, self-reflection, sustainability and regenerative practices, and how each of these things intersects. It is accompanied by a soundscape and film of the same name. 

Description: 

Set amidst the zero-waste installation titled SO SOFT, together we will flow through pranayama to clear, soothe and activate our energy channels, then drift with a free-movement exploration inspired by Gaga Metodika. This method of movement provides a fluid, unfettering structure for investigating texture, meandering through sensation, relating to gravity and surrendering the mind to the innate wisdom of the body and its qi (or energy). After we have inquired in this physical way, we will lounge on the pillows of the SO SOFT installation and receive a sound bath from the cosmic sounds of the wind gong, crystal singing pyramid, Tibetan singing bowls, kyizi (Nepalese gongs), wayunki (a newer instrument created in eastern Europe, that has a sound somewhere between a xylophone, a theremin and a chime), gentle shakers, and bamboo flute. To close, we’ll ground and share with each other.

Drop in with us for an evening of exploring the Air element. We’ll immerse in care, rest, and self reflection at the opening of SUññATA, a solo exhibition by EiY (Emily Peters). With nourishing subtropical herbal teas, grown in EiY’s permaculture food forest, we will remember, honor and thank our relationship with the Earth. Together we will sip some refreshing tisanes and decoctions - made mostly from the aerial parts of plants - and craft our own herbal blends to take home. Then, we invite you to view and move to the soundscape films SO SOFT and HERE. As the films meander through sensations of presence and remembrances of oneness you are free to lounge with the SO SOFT pillow installation, move with the vibrations, or sit in self-reflection, so be sure to wear your comfiest, moveable, relaxing clothes. To close the evening, we’ll share with each other, submerged in soothing ambient music and continue to get to know our native and naturalized south florida plant relatives.

For the months of July & August, EiY (Emily) will be exhibiting a solo show inside the CollaboARTive Gallery in the Intercontinental Hotel in Miami’s downtown Bayshore area. Join us every Monday in the month of July for a sound immersion, somatic exploration and/or meditation within the zero-waste artwork that explores non-duality, the humanity of our interconnectedness, and our placement in this universe.

In SUññATA, EiY (Emily Peters) presents a body of participatory installation works spanning the mediums of sustainable textile, sound, film and performance that engage in subconscious mind repatterning, nervous system re-regulation and self-inquiry. Thanks to CollaboARTive’s Artist Residency, Noche de Arte, EiY’s Earth-centered and zero-waste works can be viewed at Gallery 100 in the Intercontinental Hotel in downtown Miami. Every Monday in July, surrounded by EiY's zero-waste, earth pigment dyed works, we will journey together through experiences that explore the elements - Air, Earth and Water - invite deep rest, through the tools of sound immersion and deep listening, free movement, mark-making with mineral pigments, and sub-tropical herbalism. Drop in with the artist in a cocoon of earth-dyed, hand-formed textile art and earth-magic inspired sounds.

CollaboARTive is a non-profit organization by artists Jean Blackwell-Font and Iggy Font. Support them HERE

EiY (Emily Peters) will be exhibiting Umbilicus of the Earth - a zero-waste textile art piece that explores the raw energy of seeds, and the potential of new life they carry. While plants grow year-round in subtropical South Florida, our intensely hot summer rainy season is a dormant period for most seeds and more delicate plants. Umbilicus of the Earth is named for many First Peoples’ name for seeds, which is the belly button, the navel or the umbilicus because, just like our navel, seeds are the physical conjoining points that connect us to those who came before. The installation at Summer Heat Exhibition at Arts Warehouse in Delray Beach will be be on view through 23 August, with an opening reception on 10 July 2025, 6-8 pm

"Unraveling Surrealism: Celebrating Women’s Narratives through Contemporary Fiber Art"

Closing October 25, 2024

When We Were The Same Star by Emily Peters (EiY) // On view until October 25, 2024

Curated by the Hartvest Project @hartvestproject in collaboration with the Fiber Artists Miami Association (FAMA) @fiberartistsmiamiassociation and hosted by Pinecrest Gardens, this exhibition marks the 100th anniversary of Surrealism, celebrating the remarkable contributions of women in art.

Through contemporary textile art, we reimagine and honor women's narratives, inviting artists to explore the magic and strangeness of beauty in the unconventional medium of fiber. This exhibition seeks to amplify and reclaim these voices, highlighting their lasting impact on the art world. By merging diverse fiber techniques, we encourage artists to push the boundaries of fiber art, creating new connections between past and present, tradition and innovation.
