Learn how art and activism connect with the Women's Museum of California's series of "Craftivism Classes". In this class, students will learn the history of yarn bombing and create individual crochet squares that will be attached together to form a yarn bomb. The community yarn bomb will become part of the Women's Museum collection and students will be able to take home crochet needles. This class will be taught by Maritza Garcia, a local yarn bomb artist. She creates crochet artwork that she attached outside around trees and walls. Her work is in alignment with a fairly new history of women who crochet artwork as activism. Her work can be found in Barrio Logan and at the Women’s Museum of California. Maritza is a local who was raised in the 92114 zip code. From yarn bombing to femmage, the Women's Museum's Craftivism Classes invites a local artist featured in the museum's current "Crafting Feminism" exhibit to teach participants a crafting skill and how they can use it in their activism. All classes are bilingual and taught in English and Spanish Non-WMC Members: $15 WMC Members: $5 Take these classes on July 12, 2022 at 4 P.M. Follow them on social media! Facebook + Instagram
