Join Hull-House for a celebration of Chicago's multi-ethnic and multi-generational immigrant legacies. Artist Aram Han Sifuentes, in partnership with HANA Center, brings traditional Korean folk banner-making to Hull-House through a workshop series and community gathering. In conjunction with Hull-House’s current exhibition Radical Craft: Arts Education at Hull-House, 1889-1935, this series celebrates over one hundred and thirty years of craft, immigrant narratives, and the fight for racial justice.
The workshop series takes place Thursday, May 15th and Thursday, May 22nd from 5:30pm-8:30pm at the Hull-House Museum (800 S. Halsted). The workshops are free and open to all skill levels.
Nonggi created in the workshops will be archived at HANA Center. The banners are a resource for the center and are used for celebrations, marches, street protests, and visits with legislators and representatives.
