Create-it Thursday: Nuestra Cultura Nichos Workshop

Thursday, September 19, 2024 from 4 PM to 4:45 PM
Skyline Hills Library
All Ages
Free

We're celebrating Nuestra Cultura! Join us with Back From Tombouctou for a fun Nichos workshop! We will provide a wooden box and all the images and materials for decorating it in the Mexican tradition. Nicho can be made to Frida, Guadalupe or Loteria. Resembling dioramas, they are made from common household objects and craft material and traditionally combine elements from mestizo spirituality, and popular culture.

San Diego Public Library presents Nuestra Cultura, a series celebrating and recognizing the rich heritage, history, contributions, and culture of our Latin American and Indigenous communities. We recognize that there is deeply rooted pride in heritage and that self-identities are important, unique, and may change over time. We celebrate with an array of programs for all ages and recommended reading and listening lists from our English and Spanish collections.

Note: Children’s craft every Thursday at 4 p.m. Join us every week to learn a different medium, how to recycle everyday materials into art, and explore monthly observances and holidays!

Built as a model for future construction, the Skyline Hills Library opened in 2016 as one of the most modern and efficient buildings in the City of San Diego. The single-story, 15,000-square-foot facility was designed to address the needs of the Skyline Hills and Paradise Hills communities. A large community room and kitchen provide space for educational and cultural events throughout the year. The library includes children and teen spaces, study areas, a computer lab and a designated homework space for students. This new library replaces the former 4,400-square-foot library building at 480 South Meadowbrook Drive which was outdated and no longer adequate to serve this dynamic neighborhood.
