Learn with IndigiQueer artist Eileen Jimenez to carve a linoleum block with stories, words or images. Take creations home.
Join us and create artwork to honor our stories, thoughts, reflections, memories and intentions. IndigiQueer artist Eileen Jimenez (Ñätho) will lead this workshop, where participants will learn to carve a linoleum block with stories, words or images. Final pieces will be pressed onto the cover of a journal for participants to take home.
Eileen uses printmaking and mixed-media techniques to develop her own ways of telling stories in the complex layers that they exist in, as well as to demonstrate the ways that we are connected to the Land and to each other. In her current body of work, she focuses on the embodiment of the divine that is manifested through our bodies and our hands specifically. In her work, you will also see her commitment to centering the stories of joy that flow through our communities.
Eileen's mother is Maria Cruz, her grandmother is Eloisa, and her great grandmother is Ysidora, matriarchs of the Ñätho (Otomi Peoples of Michoacan/Guanajuato, Mexico). As an IndigiQueer leader, community member, educator and as an artist, everything she does and creates is influenced by her many intersecting identities and lived experiences.
Please note: This program takes place during regularly scheduled weekly Teen Drop-In.
