Piñata Lantern Making

A participatory craft event with the artistic team of rasgos asiáticos

Sunday, March 8, 2020
12:00 PM – 5:00 PM
Automata, Los Angeles

This family friendly, hands-on craft activity invites you to contribute to the making of Virginia Grise’s newest performance installation rasgos asiáticos. The author and creative team are on hand to teach you how to make specialty Piñata Lanterns that will become part of the site-specific installation. rasgos asiáticos emerges from an exploration of the histories and intersections of Mexican and Chinese culture, a confluence mirrored in the crafted lanterns.

Presented in conjunction with performances of rasgos asiáticos, March 19–22, 2020.

FREE // RSVP
