SUMMARY:Invasive Ikebana
DESCRIPTION:Photo Courtesy of Shanzhai Lyric\n\n\n\n\n\nIkebana—the Japanese art of flower arrangement—dates back over 500 years\, and is rooted in the Buddhist tradition where arrangements served as sacred offerings. Join Shanzhai Lyric\, Green-Wood’s 2025 Artists in Residence\, for an ikebana workshop using invasive plants at the Cemetery. Led by artist Christian Kōun Alborz Oldham\, who trained under ikebana master Kosen Ohtsubo\, this hands-on workshop will focus on “freestyle” ikebana. \n\n\n\n\n\nPrice: Free\, registration required \n\n\n\n\n\n\nGet Tickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn-Person Event(see details below)\n\n\n\n\n\nThis revolutionary twentieth-century approach blends centuries-old tradition with dynamic creative expression. We’ll incorporate invasive\, or introduced\, plant species—non-native plants that have taken root in our local ecosystem. \n\n\n\nPhoto Courtesy of Christian Kōun Alborz Oldham\n\n\n\nThe workshop will begin at the Gothic Arch near the Main Entrance\, where Sara Evans\, Green-Wood’s director of living collections and curator\, will lead a walk through the Cemetery. Along the way\, participants will forage for invasive plants and use them to create their ikebana arrangements during a hands-on workshop by Oldham at the Fort Hamilton Gatehouse. \n\n\n\nSome supplies will be provided\, but attendees are encouraged to bring additional materials\, including: \n\n\n\n\nPlant materials: Any floral or vegetable elements you’d like to use or share—anything from daisies to bananas\, whether purchased or gathered. Some materials will be foraged at Green-Wood\, but the more\, the better!\n\n\n\nContainers: Vases or any type of vessel that can hold water. It doesn’t need to be a traditional vase—anything watertight will do.\n\n\n\nUnusual or personal items: Feel free to bring any unique or unexpected objects you’d like to incorporate into your arrangement. Think of this as flower arranging meets assemblage—creativity is welcome\, as long as it works with water.\n\n\n\n\nA $20 suggested donation for this event ensures we can provide free and low-cost programs throughout the year.  \n\n\n\nShanzhai Lyric\n\n\n\nThe poetic inquiry of Shanzhai Lyric uses the concept of “shanzhai”—the Chinese term for counterfeit—as a framework to reconsider notions of ownership and property. Its stewards\, Ming Lin and Alex Tatarsky\, born and raised in New York\, draw inspiration from their Lower Manhattan neighborhood\, particularly the immigrant community of street vendors\, small business owners\, and artists around Canal Street\, the city’s hub for counterfeit goods. Circulating an archive of over 400 shanzhai poetry-garments\, Shanzhai Lyric engages with global production schemes by considering the politics and poetics of the bootleg garment. Their residency focuses on Green-Wood’s colony of monk parakeets\, who are celebrated for their unique place in the city’s ecosystem\, and whom they’ve called “the original mimicry artists.” \n\n\n\nShanzhai Lyric has previously exhibited their work in national and international institutions\, including MoMA PS1\, Henry Moore Institute\, and Times Museum\, among others. Shanzhai Lyric’s practice has been supported by numerous residencies\, including the LES Studio Program at Cuchifritos\, Canal Projects\, and Cité des arts.  \n\n\n\nChristian Kōun Alborz Oldham\n\n\n\nChristian Kōun Alborz Oldham is an artist\, writer\, and ikebana practitioner who continues Flower Planet\, a studio founded by their teacher Kosen Ohtsubo\, a pivotal figure in the avant-garde ikebana movement since the 1970s. \n\n\n\nPlease note that if only 1 ticket shows as available during the purchase process\, that is the last ticket available. \n\n\n\nBefore Reserving A Ticket\, Please Note:\n\n\n\n\nTickets: There is no need to print tickets! Attendees will be checked in by name.\n\n\n\nWhere To Go: Check-in takes place at the Gothic Arch near the Main Entrance at Fifth Avenue and 25th Street (500 25th Street).
