Lucia Warck-Meister: ECHOES OF THE LAND

ECHOES OF THE LAND is inspired by Latin American folktales, particularly the legendary story of Anahí—a young Indigenous woman who resisted conquest and found transformation in the form of a Ceibo (Coral Tree). Through visual, performative, and community-based storytelling, Warck-Meister reimagines this ancestral narrative as a powerful symbol of resilience and of the enduring bond between humanity and nature, while also examining how folklore shapes Latine identity within a state of constant diaspora. ECHOES OF THE LAND affirms that our stories, like the land itself, hold the power to heal, transform, and unite us. In this exhibition, Lucia shares her stories alongside many others: felt collages created by participants in a recent workshop she led at Sunset Park Library, as well as contributions from visitors to Stand4 Gallery, who will engage in colorful yarn-braiding to further shape a collective experience.
