Last month was “All about Mom;” this month’s workshop we are Making an “All About Dad” Collage!

 

Africans are known as storytellers; that is how their history is passed on to future generations. This workshop is an opportunity to create a piece of art that lets participants demonstrate how interested they are in their dads’ stories. Attendees will create collages about their fathers, highlighting things like his birthplace, things that bring him joy, his taste in music, books and art, and places he’s visited or would like to travel to. Participants may choose to create a timeline with images and dates. The museum will supply attendees with a canvas, paint, crayons, markers, fabric, glue, and magazines. Participants are encouraged to bring personal photos, other visuals or mementos, keepsakes, the written words, etc., to create collages that tell their fathers, “Yes Dad, I see you, Happy Father’s Day!”

 

Registered workshop participants will meet on the second floor of the museum’s Upbeat Village Terracotta Gallery. The workshop will be held from 11 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.

 

Please note that the workshop space is stair access only, no elevator or wheelchair access is available.
