Date:
Tuesday, March 12, 2019, 2:00pm to 4:00pm
Location:
Harvard Art Museums, 32 Quincy Street, Cambridge
This workshop takes inspiration from the art of Kara Walker, whose U.S.A. Idioms will be on view at the Harvard Art Museums from March through October 2019. This monumental collage, made with Sumi ink on newsprint, sheds new light on the themes of race and history that Walker has explored throughout her long career, including in an extensive body of work featuring silhouettes and other forms of cut paper.
Participants will experiment with paper silhouettes and botanical cutouts. Through a group project inspired by Walker’s use of Sumi ink and newsprint, participants will think through the ways in which material and process inform an artist’s work.
Cost: $15 materials fee. Registration is required and space is limited.
