Join artist Kristina Reinis for an art workshop inspired by Paradise Courtyard artist Germane Barnes' "Play-House." In her work, Reinis considers and reimagines domesticity, utilizing play and pulling from her own experience as a neurodiverse person. In this project, we will explore and construct the notion of home using sustainable materials. Using pre-made templates, we will create a cardboard structure based on a home of our past, or dream up a new space for ourselves surrounded by a community of creatives!
Kristina Reinis is a Miami-based visual artist and historian. Through painting, cardboard, and textiles, Reinis creates immersive installations that blur the lines between realism and reimagined environments. Shaped by unconventional craft and her training as an oil painter, Reinis engages a consistent consideration of home, both as it was imposed on her and as self-defined. A recent graduate of Harvard Divinity School, Reinis’ work challenges the American evangelical gendered and racialized ideal of white womanhood, while also pursuing the notion of home within herself as an autistic person. This deeply personal yet playful work extends beyond her individual narrative, inviting others to openly discuss religious trauma, domesticity, gender, disability, and their collective impact on notions of belonging and placemaking.
