Join us for a special handshake workshop with Rene Yung. With this free drop-in workshop, visitors are asked to shake hands across a dividing line marked on the floor, holding between their palms a malleable piece of clay which captures the imprint of their handshake. This imprint, unique to each handshake, is the three-dimensional shape of a moment shared between two people in the basic gesture of greeting and symbolic trust. The workshop will begin with a short discussion behind the various customs of handshakes and participants will be invited to write down a few words about what comes to mind during their handshake. This workshop initiates Yung’s socially engaged installation “Between You and Me” which is included in the upcoming group exhibition Truthtellers at SFArtsED.
