Corn Husk Dolls & Flowers with Penny Minner
Event Details
Tickets & Info
Join us in the Sculpture Garden for drop-in style art-making with guest artist Penny Minner (Seneca). Minner will lead attendees of all ages through the making of dolls and flowers with corn husks, while sharing about the significance of corn husk dolls in Haudenosaunee culture and history.
This program is presented in partnership with the exhibition and performance A:gajë:gwah dësa’nigöëwë:nye:’ (i hope it will stir your mind) by Rosy Simas. Corn husk—a central material to both the installation and performance—is a strong, flexible, and versatile material that has been used by the Haudenosaunee for generations.
Materials will be provided and distributed on a first-come, first-served basis; supplies are limited.
This event is part of Friday Art-Making in the Garden.
This program will include ASL interpretation.
