Exhibition — “Home and Home: New York in My Life” — Photographs by Satomi Shirai
CRS (Center for Remembering & Sharing) announces “Home and Home: New York in My Life,” an exhibition of photographs by Satomi Shirai. These seven works reveal, in boldly playful as well as subtle ways, a newly arrived immigrant’s strategies to create a sense of home and to discover what those strategies are. From the outset, CRS has sought to provide a creative and spiritual home to artists and seekers from all over the world, and we believe that this exhibition speaks directly to our mission and the experience of so many members of our community.
The exhibition will open on October 19, 2015 and be on display through November 28, 2015. An opening reception with the artist will take place on Friday, October 23, 2015 from 7:30 – 9:30 pm.
While the photographs in this exhibition look like documentary-style records of the often messy and alien life that an immigrant lives prior to acquiring furnishings and fully settling in (does an immigrant ever fully settle in?), the photographs are actually meticulously staged with a highly controlled mastery of mis-en-scene and craft. This creates a tension between order and chaos, reality and artifice, into which the artist places herself and her own child and friends as models, challenging our initial impulse to label the life depicted as disordered. The more we look, the more we recognize objects, symbols, behaviors, relationships that give meaning and context to the home depicted. We recognize that we carry home within us and carry on a never-ending process of using our minds in diverse and complex ways to anchor ourselves and project our sense of home into our habitat, making it our own even in the midst of constant change.

November 22, 2015 -The Grace of Gratitude — Healing Energy Workshop
The Grace of Gratitude — Healing Energy Workshop
With the hubbub of grocery lists, travel plans, the excitement of seeing family and friends, or bracing to tolerate yet another familial get-together during Thanksgiving, sometimes the spirit of the holiday can get lost in the shuffle.
The act of giving is a natural impulse that can dissolve differences, mend (spoken and unspoken) misunderstandings and fuel connection. With an unarmored heart, the grace of gratitude emerges in each of us quite easily.
To reconnect with this quality, we will explore gentle movement, mindful breath work and awareness exercises along with energetic attunements to prepare you for the Thanksgiving holiday ahead. We aim for you to move through your holiday gatherings feeling centered, balanced and embodying your innate graciousness.
