Exploring Art + Technology Labs: Andean Textiles

November 17, 2018 by Teresa Wang

 

Exploring Art + Technology Labs: Andean Textiles!

 

Inspired by Native science and technology, Exploring Art + Technology Labs are hands-on workshops focused on Indigenous innovations. Join us in the new imagiNATIONS Activity Center every first and third Saturday of the month to tinker, make, learn, and create! Inspired by the exhibition Transformer: Native Art in Light and Sound, workshops explore the intersection of art, science, and technology through hands-on, experimental activities. Projects align with STEAM approaches to learning. 

Andean-American artist Aymar Ccopacatty (Aymara) has made textile artwork from recycled plastic and other materials since plastic invaded his family’s small community on Lake Titicaca, Peru in the late 1990s. This series of Labs explores various Andean textile techniques such as warp-faced weaving (Sawuña), braiding (Qanaña), spinning (Qapuña), and twisting (Mismiña), while using recycled plastic and found objects. Gain knowledge in the art of weaving, while inspiring reflection on our big global plastic problem!

 

Date: Saturday, November 17th

Time: 1:oopm – 4:00pm

Location: 1 Bowling Green – National Museum of the American Indian

Fee: Free – BUT MUST REGISTER (212) 514-3705 or NMAI-NY-education@si.edu

Age: recommended for ages 9 and up

Fidi Families Insiders: While there, swing by their new exhibit catered towards children: imagiNATIONS Activity Center

Trash Towers Workshop at The Skyscraper Museum

April 27, 2018 by Rachel Witzel

 

Trash Towers Workshop at The Skyscraper Museum

The Skyscraper Museum wants to teach you how to recycle but in a fun way! People recycle bottles, paper, and clothing all the time. But did you know that buildings are recycled too? Come learn how builders reduce waste by reusing materials from older buildings to create new ones. Kids will make their own “Trash Towers” from recycled materials that they can tear down and rebuild over and over again.

Date: Saturday, April 28th [Read more…] about Trash Towers Workshop at The Skyscraper Museum

Little Swappies Holiday Swap

Little Swappies Holiday Swap. Have you ever had a dream that you could take all of the baby/toddler clothes and toys that your children have outgrown and no longer play with and could trade them in for clothes and toys that they would like and use, instead?

One of our favorite traditions is displaying our h One of our favorite traditions is displaying our holiday cards on our wall. It’s been so fun to see pictures of our friends with their kids, their 4-legged pets or a beautiful card with no pictures and a note. The hard part is deciding when to take them down. In an effort to stay connected and to keep the conversation going with the kids, I think this year we will keep them up for a while longer. Connectivity is our theme for 2021 and grateful to see friends and family on our holiday wall this year. Any traditions we should know about for the new year? Please share!
