abundance among us: puppetry workshop
Events

Mythological creatures are quite imaginative yet are built on the real world - many of them combine features of different animals from our daily life. Through games and drawing, registered participants will construct articulating puppets, creating a mythological creature of their own. The workshop will culminate in the co-creation of a collective puppet which added to the Celebrations of Perseverance: Public Art in Chinatown, 2024-2025 exhibit, on view through June 20, 2025.
