We the People: A Flag of Many Voices
Join Me! Free and Open to The Public
Sat. May 30, Albert Wisner Public Library, 11 - 1PM.
We the People: A Flag of Many Voices, is a collaborative workshop exploring freedom, identity, and belonging through art-making and conversation. After a short lecture discussing the Indigenous History of Orange County and the commemoration of 250 years of the Declaration of Independence participants will create a collective community flag. The work will continue at the Warwick Arts Festival in September.
Drawing on Indigenous ways of knowing, place-based history, and more than 20 years of experience in public art and education, Berg creates opportunities for meaningful dialogue and shared creative expression.

2023 Ann Street Gallery Emerging Artist Fellowship, Newburgh NY
The fellowship project addresses “decolonization” in a local and contemporary context. The work confronts the tensions and misconceptions in our understanding of American history through study of the land and the story of the Munsee people in the Hudson Valley. The cyanotype "sun-print" process aims to allow the land to tell stories of its original people. Berg’s work explores concepts of shared historical trauma, recovery of Indigenous tradition, and acknowledgement of Indigenous cultural perspectives on mourning, healing, and dreaming. The work enacts a commitment to change through acts of decolonization.
