  • Alebrije-inspired Piñatas with Diana Benavidez
    In this two-hour workshop honoring Hispanic Heritage Month, participants will explore craft and folklore by creating an Alebrije-inspired piñata. The workshop will cover assembling a cardboard structure and traditional tissue paper decorating techniques used in piñatas. En este taller de dos horas en honor al Mes de la Herencia Hispana, los participantes explorarán la artesanía y el folclore al crear una piñata inspirada en los Alebrijes. El taller incluirá el montaje de una estructura de cartón y las técnicas tradicionales de decoración con papel de seda utilizadas en las piñatas. 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.
