Art-iculating: Remembering and Alchemizing through Collage
Saturday, June 11 – CANCELLED, to be rescheduled for the Fall
Hear from mixed media artist Eryn Kimura on her process of artmaking and explore how collage can be an articulator of memory, identity, place-making and self-expression. Bring print media, photocopies, or other items to explore through your own collage art-iculating. Or just come as you are – with an openness to try collage making.
Eryn Kimura (she, they) is a mixed media artist based in San Francisco. Working with collage, she composes cacophonous yet fractal visual symphonies, using fragments from print media and found ephemera. When she’s not collaging, she is writing in her notebook with a fine-tip pen, whale-watching, or baking French pastries.
Workshop Fee: $25; includes material fee.

Getting A Good Night’s Sleep As We Age (Online)
Tues, June 14, 12 noon
With changes in sleep patterns, are we getting a good night’s sleep? A misnomer is that older adults need less sleep. Older adults need 7 to 9 hours of sleep like most adults, but often have interrupted sleep patterns that affect the quality and duration. Why is sleep so important? How can I get a good night’s rest?
Dr. Kin M. Yuen is a sleep medicine specialist at UCSF who provides a range of treatments and other services for patients with sleep
disorders. Dr. Yuen earned her medical degree and completed a residency in internal medicine at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. She completed a fellowship in sleep disorders at Stanford Medicine, where she also earned a master’s degree in health research and policy. Before completing her fellowship, she practiced internal medicine at the Stanford Medical Group. In 2019, she chaired an Associated Professional Sleep Societies symposium on women and sleep disorders.
RSVP to jill@j-sei.org with “Sleep” in the subject line. The presentation will be online via ZOOM.
