Before participants entered the space, I asked what the word “ceremony” meant to them. Our brief discussion revealed the ways in which we honor and celebrate significant events in our lifetimes. Each participant was handed a lump of plastalina to hold, warm up, squeeze, and to help ground them upon entering our ceremonial space. Using two images from the Museum’s collection: a Cycladic head and Alison Saar’s 2009 piece, Inheritance, we spoke about our connection to the ancients, and how creativity, quotidian activities and ceremony were commonly interconnected for our ancestors. We also spoke about what we know we have inherited from our ancestors and immediate family, along with what remains a mystery. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dc91dfa06a5ea221dfc72b6/1573517547866-EJQ9C86T91B4SM9BF25V/IMG_5577.jpeg Inheritance - Inheritance This interactive installation was enacted by 300 middle school students from Ventura, CA in 2019 as a project for the Santa Barbara Museum of Art.

Upon noticing that some of the twine had come unmoored from their starting or end points in the process, participants were encouraged to leave it that way.
