A workshop for connecting with historical images by collaging the past into the present, hosted by author Ariel Aberg-Riger.
About this Event

Historical images can often feel distant and disconnected from the present -- black and white, overly formal, tucked away inside rigid little rectangles. In this workshop we'll connect with historical images by getting hands on -- breaking the frame, cutting things apart, and collaging the past into the present in a colorful freeform way.

Recommended for teens and older.
