YOGAMOTIF & Partners EVENT:

October 2, home: an idea of softness Unveiling

by Percent for Art: Hill District with Naomi Chambers & Alecia Dawn Young

home: an idea of softness Unveiling
Friday, October 2, 2026 | 2PM - 3:30PM
Intersection of Centre & Herron Ave.
Hill District, Pittsburgh 15219

About the sculpture:

home: an idea of softness honors the memory work and communal care of Black life and culture in the Hill District. Referencing brick, the building material that housed so many of the Hill District’s residents, this freestanding sculptural piece celebrates evolving notions of refuge, retreat, and the feeling of home and connectedness. Curved to mimic the embrace of a mother’s hug, home embraces change and the invitation to a growing sense of belonging.

Chair Yoga at CMOA

Our creative classroom extends beyond the walls of YOGAMOTIF. This month, we’re excited to share an offering from YOGAMOTIF teacher Heather Manning who will be leading Chair Yoga with our community partner, Carnegie Museum of Art, on October 7th and 28th. While this class isn’t hosted by YOGAMOTIF, it reflects the kind of creative wellness connections we love to see growing throughout our community.
