About this Event
FAMILY TIME: FABRIC COLLAGING
WITH ARTIST LAUREL RICHARDSON
Saturday, March 14 • 1–3PM • For All Ages • Free!
At The Bronx Museum (1040 Grand Concourse)
On one Saturday afternoon every month, The Bronx Museum offers a free and fun art-making activity led by Museum Educators and sometimes by exhibiting artists! Activities are inspired by our current exhibition and designed to be fun for all ages while also accessible to young children and their caregivers.
For the program on Saturday, March 14, we are delighted to host artist ! Richardson’s beautiful work, Safe Passage (2026), is currently on view in our exhibition . Additional exhibiting artists will also be offering opportunities to engage with them and their work in the coming months. Subscribe to our email newsletter for updates!
Richardson has titled her March 14th program, “Sites of Remembrance: Activating the Visual Griot.” Drawing inspiration from Richardson’s work Safe Passage, Program participants will create individual collaged fabric hangings that reflect shared stories and memories, which will then be installed collectively in the space. This will culminate in a temporary installation and monument of shared and collective stories. Audience members will then be encouraged to serve as “griots” (a West African term referring to a traditional role of troubadour-historians), sharing their stories, poems, readings, or songs as they reflect on these expressions through collage.
No RSVP is needed; just drop by the Museum to participate!
