An Art Making Workshop and Children's Book Read Aloud

The South Asian institute is excited to be hosting a children's art making workshop and gallery walk through led by art educator and Angelie Tuch.

This event will focus on how personal identity can manifest into cultural objects like dupattas, shawls traditionally worn in various 
South Asian cultures.

A read aloud session of children's book, A Dupatta Is… by Marzieh Abbas, will teach children about the beauty, versatility, and cultural uses of a dupatta. 

During the workshop children will have the opportunity to make their own dupatta using fabric and decorations that reflect their own identities and cultures. The workshop will be followed by a gallery walk through of the current SAI exhibition, Unspoken Influence, where attendees will see how many dupattas they can spot in the artworks, and their significance to the art and artists.
