Two years in the making, the Locating the Sacred Festival, a project of the Asian American Arts Alliance, has brought together hundreds of artists, arts workers and cultural activists to create twenty-five events in churches, museums, cultural centers, botanical gardens and theaters across all five boroughs of New York City, exploring the meaning of the word “sacred” and its relevance in their communities.
Artist Jayanthi Moorthy presents Sacred Writings and Threads, an outdoor installation. September 14 at 5pm, an accompanying public program with a hands-on mandala workshop, Mandala Dreams, by artist, performer, writer, and educator, Margaret Chase. Followed by world premiere of Mary Whitlock’s short film, Lhasa on the Hudson.
