SUMMARY:Love Letters in Secret Gardens: Highland Park and East Liberty
DESCRIPTION:Dear M\,\nYour letter made me look for the map\, I started getting lost in it. Isn’t a map supposed to guide? When you think about your lover\, eleven years ago\, who do you find? Can you see yourself through the lens of time? Have you ever mapped your affections\, drawing paths from one lover to another? So many questions… \nWalk with artist Carolina Loyola-Garcia as she leads a tour through amorous letters\, gardens\, and Madeleine de Scudery’s “Map of Love.” You will have the opportunity to experience remembrance in association with movement in the cozy and safe environment of beautiful gardens in Highland Park and East Liberty. You will not need a topographic map\, but might leave the tour with a draft of an emotional map and the beginning of a letter\, along with some gestures to accompany it all. \nUsing a few back alleys\, we will traverse a new path\, trying to find a connection to the backyard of your own memories. There will be prompts at each stage\, to engage you with your own self and memory\, and maybe with those of others. What have you erased and what have you kept? Who have you kept and who has been forgotten? Still\, so many questions… \nPlease bring a notebook and a writing implement. \nAbout Carolina Loyola-Garcia\nCarolina Loyola-Garcia is a multidisciplinary artist\, filmmaker\, and educator whose work explores the intersections of identity\, memory\, and the human condition. Originally from Santiago\, Chile\, she has spent decades contributing to the cultural landscape of Pittsburgh\, Pennsylvania\, where she established a practice that bridges experimental storytelling with digital innovation. \nHer artistic approach often blends diverse media—including photography\, video\, and performance—to examine how we relate to our environments and one another. In her large- scale commissions\, she frequently utilizes digital collage and fractal geometry to create immersive visual experiences that offer a sense of solace and wonder. As an artist committed to the public sphere\, Loyola-Garcia’s work has been featured in numerous exhibitions nationally and internationally\, reflecting her belief that art is a vital tool for community connection and personal reflection. Her practice remains a constant search for the beauty and complex rhythms inherent in both nature and the human spirit. \nMeeting Location\nParticipants will meet at the corner of Stanton Avenue and North Euclid Avenue\, Pittsburgh 15206. \nParking and Transportation\nStreet parking is available within the vicinity. \nIf taking public transportation\, there are several nearby Pittsburgh Regional Transit stops\, including one at the corner of Stanton Avenue and N.
