SUMMARY:Where We Belong: Tree Chuangs Opening
DESCRIPTION:<h2>	<drupal-media data-entity-type="media" data-entity-uuid="38c6ecc9-293e-44b0-a1fa-a2ca2b38ce6e" alt="detail of cylindrical textile sculpture hanging from tree." data-view-mode="hwp_medium"></drupal-media></h2><h2>	Free Outdoor Event<br> </h2><p>	Three site-specific textile sculptures, designed by artist Xinan Ran and collaboratively created with local communities, sway from tree branches and invite us to connect to experiences of belonging. <!--break-->Seventy-five individual pieces are combined into a traditional Chinese <em>chuang</em>—a cylindrical textile commonly used in Buddhism. The works encourage us to see all the different ways in which we belong and learn to connect to each other. Join us for iced tea, potluck desserts, and an open mic to share your own response.</p><p>	Rain location: Earth and Planetary Sciences Gallery, HMNH third floor, 26 Oxford Street. The tree <em>chuangs</em> will remain on view through October 31. Xinan Ran first developed the project for Beam Center's Beam Camp City, Governors Island, New York, in 2022.</p><h3>	Community Collaborators</h3><p>	Cambridge Council on Aging <br>Harvard First-Year Arts Program students<br>Harvard Museums of Science &amp; Culture staff<br>Harvard Summer School<br>Harvard Museum Staff<br>Harvard Community<br>Teen Saturdays at the Museum participants</p><p>	<em>Beam Center photo: Stefany Lazar, 2022</em></p>
