This October, honor Day of the Dead and create your own sugar skull piñata with piñata artist Diana Benavidez. You will experiment with cardboard, crepe streamers, tissue and construction paper to craft and decorate your whimsical creation. Alongside the history and folklore of piñatas, Diana will share her own hybrid methods of using this craft for expression and storytelling. Diana Benavidez is a Binational artist from the San Diego/Tijuana border region. Her art practice explores piñata-making as a method of expression and storytelling. Diana builds piñatas that reflect upon her experiences growing up as a woman in a border town. Her work is characterized as introducing materials not commonly found in traditional piñatas such as media, gadgets, and technology. Diana received a BA in Visual Arts from UC San Diego and her art has been exhibited in Mexico, Canada, and the US. Currently, three of Benavidez's piñatas are on display at PIÑATAS: THE HIGH ART OF CELEBRATION group exhibition at Craft in America Center in Los Angeles.
