How can a mask tell your story? How can you interject new meaning into discarded, recycled materials?

In this poetry and art workshop, artist Steven Luu will lead participants through the creation of collage self-portrait masks using recycled scrap paper, turning waste into treasure. 

Masks can represent concealment and revelation, enabling individuals to take on different roles and stories. They are a means to express, to act, and to be. Materials also carry significant meaning: discarded scraps of paper carry the stories and memories from different people and places. Through collage, we can remix these materials into new forms and memories, a meditative process that allows us to contemplate our own identities and experiences.  

Registration is free but encouraged to save your place. All materials are provided, but participants are encouraged to bring their own discarded letters, photos, or other materials to incorporate into the collage.
