Drop In Anytime from 11am to 6pm to take part in "Home to Nest" workshop

Workshop in Gallery 3-5pm Remembering  (creating ceramic handkerchiefs).  Base on the exhibition "Mujeres de Archivo", this workshop  explores how the tradition of sawing and embroidering has  been passed through generations and still is a personal  manifestation of many sentiments. Instead of using threads  and fabric, we will use ceramic and painting. Ceramic objects  are also part of our usual domestic landscape, the materiality  connects with us and brings back many memories. We will do  first some exercises to prepare the clay and then we will do our  own pañuelos with details that we remember from the past or  we want to remember in the future. Open to all ages.  RSVP for Saturday Events Mujeres de Archivo, an exhibition featuring the work of three  Latinx women artists that deploys a decolonial and feminist  approach to archiving, foregrounding memory work, an  ongoing history of overlooked labor and knowledge across the  Americas. Working across mediums such as textile, print, and  sculpture, the exhibition centers archival fragments both  inherited and imagined. Closing Reception: 5:30-7:30pm Curated by Nikki Meyers Featured Artists: C.J. Chueca, Cinthya Santos Briones, Blanka Amezkua
