How can we trace and honor unseen labor by individuals and communities that impacts materials in our everyday lives? We’ll consider this question as we spend time with Jonathan Michael Castillo’s Immigrant Owned photographs, currently on view in the Block Living Room.
All are welcome to join this one time event as part of Dittmar Gallery’s Crafting Community Workshop series, in collaboration with the Block Museum. We’ll begin by close-looking at Castillo’s pieces, considering the overlooked work and stories of immigrant-owned businesses, followed by making three-dimensional collage pieces that explore the layers of labor and stories that objects in our lives carry. Through viewing the artwork and a collage activity, we will reflect on Castillo’s portrayal of the entanglement of humans, materials, and work.
This event will begin at 4:30pm at the Block Museum, followed by art-making in Dittmar Gallery.
Cost: Free and open to all
