Family First: Tangled Stories: Building Identity Through Hair

In this workshop, participants will explore the connections between hair, identity, and heritage by creating textured portrait collages.
About this Event

Participants will use materials like yarn, felt, beads, paper, and synthetic hair to design vibrant items representing themselves or someone they love.

Guided by artist Nadia Meadows, this workshop encourages storytelling through texture and color, celebrating the diverse ways we express identity and care for ourselves and each other. Everyone will leave with a unique piece of art that can be displayed at home as a symbol of family pride and creativity.
