The evening workshop for educators, teaching artists, and administrators features hands-on activities that explore the embedded history of materials, manipulation, and adaptation. Using artwork by contemporary Chinese artists on view at the Smart Museum, the workshop also considers strategies for working across cultures and disciplines.
