Explore the history, artistry, and cultural significance of Indigenous Caribbean symbols in this engaging mixed-media workshop led by Kasike Wakyua Rafael Feliciano-Roman, the Executive Director of the Afro-Caribbean Cultural Center. Participants will learn about Taíno and other Indigenous symbolic traditions, examining how symbols communicate identity, spirituality, community, and connections to the natural world. Using brown paper bags, parchment paper, and drawing materials, students will create layered works of art inspired by traditional Taíno iconography while reflecting on the enduring importance of Indigenous cultures throughout the Caribbean.
This class is specifically designed for children ages 12-17, to enhance their artistic interests and talents. We kindly ask parents and siblings to wait outside of the classroom for the duration of the program.
Support provided by the Afro-Caribbean Cultural Center and American Savings Foundation and Post University.
