SUNDAY, OCTOBER 26, 2025 from 2 - 4 pm
at The Addison Gallery of American Art, Andover, MA
Members of the AANHPI community are invited to gather at the Addison Gallery of American Art in Andover to reflect on and be inspired by our own lives in relation to places, real or imagined. Our time together will include an introduction to the exhibition Tommy Kha: Other Things Uttered with museum educator Christine Jee and a facilitated session on creating story maps to explore narrative ways of being and belonging, led by artist and cultural organizer Mindy Tsonas Choi.
Participants are invited to bring their own favorite collage materials and ephemera (photos, stickers, papers etc.) All other materials and light refreshments from Pon de Joy will be provided.
This workshop is free, but space is limited and registration is required. Open to adults as well as participants in middle school and up.

INSTRUCTOR
Mindy Tsonas Choi is an artist, cultural organizer and facilitator working at the intersection of creativity, somatic healing, and collective belonging as care. Her work focuses on the alchemy of story, identity and our inherent interconnection. As a transracial and transnationally adopted person from the South Korean diaspora, this deeply informs her embodied perspective on land, lineage and how we belong with ourselves and one another.
