Mask Making at Te Atatū Food Truck Fridays

2 February
4.30pm – 8.30pm
Te Atatu South Community Centre

 

With pre-columbian origins, the mask has always been a constant element present in different Latin American cultures. Join Sur-collective in a DIY/Creative Lab where you will explore the potential of the mask by creating your own.

 
About 

Sur-collective was founded in 2021 by six latina artists out of the need to create a sense of place and redefine the space they use as migrant women in Aotearoa. They think of art as a tool to create new experiences, connect with other communities, and collaborate in the construction of diverse and inclusive spaces. This activity is open to all participants (kids must be supervised) and no previous experience is required.
