Repair your Plush! Join us for a heartwarming 2-hour workshop where we will breathe new life into your beloved stuffed animals! Whether it’s a childhood companion or a cherished gift, learn hands-on techniques to mend, reinforce, re-stuff and restore plush toys. As we stitch and stuff, I will share stories of healing and celebration as we transform sentimental fabrics into custom keepsakes that honor spatial memories.

It is recommended that you wash your plush toy ahead of time planning for plenty of time for it to dry thoroughly. Use your best judgement on whether it should go in the washing machine or be gently hand washed.

Inspired by popular hacks that facilitate movement and sustain connections across borders. The exhibition borrows its title from the popular 1971 song written and originally recorded by The Bee Gees – and extensively covered in English and Spanish – to call attention to the harsh immigration enforcement & policies along the U.S./MX border.
