Drawing from discarded remnants found in New York City’s Materials for the Arts warehouse and domestic relics from her ancestral Thailand, Amanda Phingbodhipakkiya suspends sculptural tapestries and objects that speak to displacement, impermanence, and intergenerational wisdom.
Materials for the Arts is New York City’s Creative Reuse center. From our warehouse to all five boroughs, we connect and inspire local students and teachers, artists and non-profits, with free materials to imagine a more creative and sustainable future.
The City of New York funds infrastructural and operational costs for MFTA, and it falls upon Friends of Materials for the Arts (FOMA), MFTA’s nonprofit partner, to support other initiatives to reach a broader audience through our Education Center which reaches thousands of people by hosting our Artists-in-Residence program, Designer-in-Residence Program, Gallery program, Third Thursday program, Professional Development program and Field Trip/In-School Residency programs.
