Craft and Create: Stories Our Hands Remember

This workshop, presented by artist AnaYelsi Velasco Sanchez, explores murals as a form of storytelling and resistance in Latin America and Latine communities in the United States, highlighting how mural-making is used to reflect histories, traditions, relationships, and lived experiences. Participants will explore memory, identity, culture, and belonging through collaborative art-making. Using traced hands as a canvas, participants will create symbolic artworks reflecting the people, traditions, struggles, joys, and stories that have shaped them. Together, these individual pieces will become a collective mural celebrating the many stories we carry. No art experience necessary.
