Atelier de fabrication de journal d'affirmation
samedi 14 janvier 2023
11h00 - 13h00
Les affirmations sont des déclarations de vérité. Ils sont souvent utilisés pour encourager et renforcer la pensée positive afin de créer des résultats positifs.
Dans cet atelier, vous allez emballer un journal vierge dans un tissu imprimé africain et concevoir une feuille de couverture pour l'intérieur de votre journal. Une fois les journaux emballés et terminés, nous établirons nos affirmations pour la nouvelle année et utiliserons nos nouveaux journaux.

Continuing the theme of celebration, The Savannah African Art Museum will hold a Father’s Day-inspired event, sharing the history of King Ibrahim Njoya, ruler and perceived father figure of Bamum in Western Cameroon from 1895 to 1933. He created and implemented a writing system to preserve his people’s language during the colonial era and beyond. Workshop participants will make and decorate frames provided by the museum for a 4” by 6” image that attendees will bring of their father or father figure.

Celebrating Pioneers and Achievements
Saturday, August 12, 2023 | 11:00 am - 1:00 pm
This workshop will honor the 109th Anniversary of Savannah’s Carnegie Library, the only Savannah Library open to African Americans until 1963 when Savannah desegregated its libraries. Inspired by the Ikenga, a statue made and used by the Igbo people of Nigeria in celebration of the achievements of prominent community figures, this workshop will recognize and honor all the founders of the Carnegie Library whose stories and contributions are not widely known. Participants will make their own Ikenga-inspired art collages, consisting of images, newspaper & magazine clippings, and fabrics. Participants are asked to bring in their images (max 5” by 7”) and small clippings, photos, symbolic images, and other related materials about a pioneer, leader, or servant of the community that they would like to honor (living or deceased). The materials attendees bring with them will be attached to a sturdy artboard as part of their individual collages.
This workshop will be held at The Carnegie Library, 537 East Henry Street, Savannah, GA 31401.
