Jiama Wishing Flags with Keng Keng Tang

Join textile artist, activist and experimental milliner for Jiama Wishing Flags.In this workshop we will explore how art activism can transform from protest and direct action into long lasting resistance through embodied learning, collective care and rest.

We will engage with traditional Yunnanese Jiama block-printing techniques used by Bai indigenous people in rituals, prayers and other folk activities as a way to seek peace, ward off evil, and attract protection and blessings.

We will consider and create symbols of resistance and collective hope.
