Theda Sandiford: Emotional Baggage Carts

Hello!

On April 30th, 2022, the world unites in celebration of sculpture during the 8th annual International Sculpture Day!

Sky Garden Gallery invites you to play with Theda Sandiford’s Emotional Baggage Carts. Interact with the cart and leave behind any emotional baggage you are carrying.

Joy is a form of resistance.

We all carry emotional baggage Naturally; these manifests differently for each of us. Some of us push shopping carts of pain and bitterness while some of us just have a backpack.
I carry a lifetime of racial trauma.

Being alive means having the capacity to carry past experiences and learn from them. But there’s a point when this baggage becomes too much. Carrying too much emotional baggage can literally stop us from being open to new experiences, intimacy and growth.

How we choose to handle our baggage makes a difference. We have the choice to let it define us or to let it go and move forward.

International Sculpture Day @ Sky Garden Gallery – CANCELLED

I am so sorry to have to cancel the opening of our rooftop garden to visitors today. The plants are planted but with this slow to start Spring the plants are not splendiferous yet.

I also have an opening in New Canaan CT, and I’m trying to swing by Art House Productions’ Snowball gala tonight.

I promise to open the garden and emotional baggage cart display for frolicing later this Summer when the lavender is blooming.

International Sculpture Day is being celebrated on Governors Island today. My emotional baggage cart “Donda Donda Deluxe” in honor of Kanye West’s relationship with his Mother Dr. Donda West is on display all Summer at Art Crawl Harlem’s house 406b. Stop in and take a photo.
