Beading Workshop with Amir Khadar at YOWIE

Join us for a beading workshop with artist Amir Khadar at YOWIE. Guests will learn essential beading techniques before creating their own masterpiece. All supplies are provided, just bring yourself and a friend or meet a new one! This is part one of a two part "Workshop Swap" with Philadelphia's Magic Gardens.

About Amir: Amir Khadar (They/Them) is a Sierra Leonean-American visual artist, designer, and educator originally from Minneapolis. Their artwork is intentionally positioned in social movement spaces, where it is central in creating visual language for liberatory initiatives and agendas around racial, gender, and climate justice. Amir's illustrations and movement artwork are grounded through art's ability to imagine alternate worlds and make liberation tangible. They have collaborated extensively with Black Alliance for Just Immigration, Parenting for liberation, Wakanda Dream Lab, Forward Together, and the Astraea Lesbian Foundation for Justice on projects that fulfill this vision.

About Magic Gardens: Philadelphia’s Magic Gardens (PMG) inspires creativity and community engagement by educating the public about folk, mosaic, and visionary art. PMG preserves, interprets, and provides access to Isaiah Zagar’s unique mosaic art environment and his public murals.
