PIÑATA LANTERN MAKING WITH VIRGINIA GRISE
A PARTICIPATORY CRAFT EVENT WITH THE WRITER OF RASGOS ASIÁTICOS
This hands-on craft-making activity invites you to contribute to the making of DiverseWorks’ newest project rasgos asiáticos. The author Virginia Grise will be on hand to teach you how to make specialty piñata lanterns that will become part of the site-specific installation at the SITE Gallery Train Shed at Sawyer Yards. rasgos asiáticos emerges from an exploration of the histories and intersections of Mexican and Chinese culture, a confluence mirrored in the crafted lanterns.
We will have drinks and snacks and if you can, please bring a bag of oranges, tangerines, and/or grapefruit as an offering to also be used in the installation!
This activity takes place in the SITE Gallery Train Shed (next to the Silos) at Sawyer Yards, on Saturday, November 13 from 12 – 3 pm, during the 2nd Saturday Market.
