Description:
Join us for a hands-on collage workshop inspired by the groundbreaking work of artist Romare Bearden, led by teaching artist Willie Thomas from LA Commons.
Participants will work individually to create a vibrant collage of a single building on construction paper, using scrap paper, magazine clippings, and silhouettes. Then they will combine everyone's completed buildings to construct a large-scale, interconnected “Block.” This collective effort visually represents a thriving and dynamic community.
This project honors Romare Bearden’s legacy of depicting the richness of Black American life. The collaborative “Block” serves as a powerful metaphor for the strength and interdependence of Black communities throughout history.
This special program is one of many at the Inspiring Journeys: African American Histories Festival at Central Library.
