Each Monday, you’ll meet a featured artist, enjoy light bites provided by InterContinental Miami, and take part in a hands-on collage activity—no experience needed, just show up and make something.
JULY 2026 ARTIST IN RESIDENCE: EiY Emily Peters
July 13th: EARTH [EARTH PIGMENTS PAINTING]
On this second Monday of SUññATA, a solo exhibition in sustainable textile and sound by EiY (Emily Peters), we gather in the name of Earth. Surrounded by field recording soundscapes from South Florida, Southern California and Northern Thailand, first we will open our energy channels with pranayama and loosen our physical bodies with free movement inspired by Gaga Metodika. Then, we will paint with one of the oldest methods of dyeing that can be found in different forms all throughout the world’s history: combining mineral pigments with a glutenous substance and applying it to fabric. Release yourself to your inner knowing and Investigate mark-making with a variety of tools, found objects, brushes or even your hands using a prepared solution of Earth pigments and soy. Bring your own fabrics or objects to upcycle, or use the artist’s fabrics, and be sure to wear clothing that you don’t mind getting creative in. To close, we’ll share our experiences and insights with each other.
30 Min: pranayama and free movement
60 Min: Paint with Earth Pigments: using a prepared solution of mineral pigments, water and soy, we will paint discarded textile items to upcycle them and give them new life
30 Min: share
Field recordings (nature sounds) played throughout
In SUññATA, EiY (Emily Peters) presents a body of participatory installation works spanning the mediums of sustainable textile, sound, film and performance that engage in subconscious mind repatterning, nervous system re-regulation and self-inquiry. Thanks to CollaboARTive’s Artist Residency, Noche de Arte, EiY’s Earth-centered and zero-waste works can be viewed at Gallery 100 in the Intercontinental Hotel in downtown Miami. Every Monday in July, surrounded by EiY's zero-waste, earth pigment dyed works, we will journey together through experiences that explore the elements - Air, Earth and Water - invite deep rest, through the tools of sound immersion and deep listening, free movement, mark-making with mineral pigments, and sub-tropical herbalism. Drop in with the artist in a cocoon of earth-dyed, hand-formed textile art and earth-magic inspired sounds.
About the Artist
Emily Peters (EiY) is a sustainable artist and musician specializing in fiber, metal, and sound art. She was born in LaCrosse, Wisconsin and has lived and worked in Miami, Florida for nearly twenty years. Emily earned a Bachelor of Science in Clothing Design with a minor in Fine Art from University of Minnesota - Twin Cities in 2006. Emily constructs with discarded materials using non-toxic and Earth friendly methods and composes soundscapes that are heavily influenced by nature and self inquiry. In her sound practice, she translates sensation into soundscapes. Her formal vocal training started at a tender age, continued intensively through young adulthood, and was reborn later in life through Southeast Asian and Native American chanting, singing and vibrational practices. Subtropical herbalism, permaculture and movement practices also nourish and inform EiY’s work.
