Process as Power - Symbols, Spirits, and Belonging

Bring your own fiber project and join a collective making experience facilitated by practicing fiber artist and museum educator, Lola Rael. This session explores symbolism as an expression of belonging and cultural identity. Using artworks on view, we’ll consider how representational and abstract visual languages carry shared meaning across personal, cultural, and diasporic contexts. Process as Power celebrates the traditions, skill, and personal meaning of diverse craft practices while fostering an inclusive and supportive space for makers of all levels.
