Messages for Tomorrow

Please join us on a walk that reflects on important lessons and experiences from our collective pasts. We will be finding and creating small tokens and mementos to these lessons and experiences, so that we can share with others these lessons that were so crucial to us.

Make sure to wear comfortable clothes and shoes that you don’t mind getting dirty! We will be walking, with intermittent rests and breaks, for about 30 mins. You don't need to bring anything other than yourself!

About the Artists

Gaylin’s work uses a wide range of methods and techniques, including social practice, to engage a collective memory in pursuit of a deeper resonance between us all. Gaylin received his Associate of Fine Arts from Johnson County Community College in 2023. His work has been exhibited at the Kansas City Artists' Coalition, Holsum Gallery, and 3West.
