Shadow Movements: ARTogether youth workshopA FREE ShadowLight Productions Event
Live shadow play animation film presentations followed by a hands-on workshop
“Shadow Movements” is an ARTogether youth workshop series for newcomers, diaspora, and refugees that blends traditional shadow puppetry with animation. An intersectional youth cohort explored themes of home remedies, emotions, and heroes/villains through poetry, shadow puppetry, and animation.
At Red Poppy Art House, a few members of this youth cohort will screen their final films, talk about the impact of the arts on newcomer and diaspora communities, and lead a workshop teaching audience members how to animate shadow puppetry with stop-motion animation!
This program is a part of ShadowLight artists in residence at Red Poppy Art House, a Free Monthly program with hands-on workshop activities for families.

ABOUT THE ARTISTS:
Sabina Shanti Kariat is an Indian-American animator, artist, and filmmaker based in San Francisco. She has created animations for documentary films about the 1960s American civil rights movement, the history of Japanese-American incarceration camps in California, the impact of the criminal justice system on refugees, and the loss of native languages among immigrants. She is also a story artist on short animated films that bring BIPOC characters into surreal worlds. Sabina has been a teaching artist throughout San Francisco and has led co-creation workshops in the Bay, rural Jharkhand, India, and Istanbul and Reyhanli, Turkey. She has previously managed a puppetry and animation project with Syrian diaspora youth in Turkey and is currently designing and managing the “Shadow Movements” program as a Public Arts Manager at ARTogether. She is a nerd about traditional shadow puppets, reads poems about horses, and is interested in the relationship between diaspora and memory.
Iris Mendoza
Hi, I’m Iris and I love art, it’s something that has helped me get out of my problems, many times I felt alone and sad but by making art I started to believe in myself and I realized that I can make someone better than me. What I thought, art is not easy to do, there are complications, but that doesn’t stop me. I love art, and thanks to it I have been able to smile again and in the future I want to be a great artist and see my parents proud of me, that It is my wish.

Eyner P.
Mis intereses son la psicologia y la lectura. Y mi sueño en el futuro es convertirme en un gran psicologo y hacer grandes avanzes en la psicologia.
[My interests are psychology and reading. And my dream in the future is to become a great psychologist and make great advances in psychology.]
Alona G.
Since I was little I have been passionately drawn to art. I do not see art as just a hobby, It became a significant part of my way of seeing and perceiving the world. The idea of “creating” acquired a different, deeper meaning. My passion drove me to self-improvement, and every direction of art became interesting to me. I joined Oil painting classes, online graphic design courses, photography, anatomical drawing classes, and many other varieties of art I promoted independently. The more I learn the more passionate I become about it. My artworks allowed me to express things that I could not express with words, it became my power, my voice. Shadow Movements project it’s a great example of the expression of my feelings through art.

ABOUT THE WORKSHOP:
Red Poppy Art House has partnered up with Shadow Light Productions for a Live shadow play performance by ShadowLight artists for children and families followed by hands-on workshop. With instruction and guidance by ShadowLight teaching artists, attendees will be given the opportunity to make a shadow puppet, learn performance techniques, and use our screen and lights to perform their own short plays. This event is appropriate for children ages 3 to 12.
This FREE event creates an opportunity for youth in our neighborhood (Mission), who may otherwise not be able to attend such an event for lack of funds, to access art education with high-caliber teaching artists. By providing an opportunity to watch, interact and play, we are encouraging participation and engagement with a vital storytelling art form. Storytelling is an important skill; it helps us to understand ourselves and one another, encouraging empathy.
