Audrya Flores, Play and Decay at the Confluence Ephemeral Art Installation Workshop

Play and Decay at the Confluence is an ephemeral installation workshop with local artist Audrya Flores. Participants will gather, sort, and arrange organic materials from Confluence Park to assist in the creation of a large flower-serpent assemblage on a hillside near the river. The workshop will teach participants to forage for natural materials in safe and respectful ways and self-soothe through pattern-making. We will also explore the symbolism of the serpent as we work. Space is limited, registration is required. Ages 15+.

Saturday, May 4, 9:00AM – 12:00PM at Confluence Park, 310 W Mitchell Street, San Antonio, TX 78204

The completed installation will be on view to the public until May 31.

*This will be a physical activity that requires working on the ground. Please wear yard work or gardening clothes, closed toe shoes, work gloves, and bring a water bottle. Ages 15+
