Clockshop is excited to partner with Ashé Cultural Arts Center to extend our series of 3D-scanning workshops to the South, where the southern transcontinental railroad route originates. Bring an object to scan that carries personal meaning and reflects your sense of home as part of our open call for subterranean convergence, an upcoming artist commission by LaRissa Rogers. LaRissa and her collaborator Angel Adams Parham will guide us in sharing stories about the meaning of the items you bring and their connection to your family history while a technician assists you in scanning your heirloom. This process centers storytelling as a form of memory-keeping and collective knowledge production.
Thursday, July 9, 2026
6:00–8:00 PM at Ashé Cultural Arts Center (Ashe I)
1712 Oretha Castle Haley Blvd, New Orleans, LA 70113
Sign up on Neon to RSVP for the Ashé workshop on July 9. Participants will receive a $50 honorarium. Please fill out the form for the Open Call for Objects form prior to the date of the workshop.
