The Art of Letting Go with Luz Elena Mendoza
June 24, 2020 @ 11:00 am - 12:30 pm
FreeMeets Weds 11am-12:30pm | June 17, June 24, July 1, July 8
In this workshop, we’ll utilize collage making, poetry, and music as tools that can help us out carve out physical spaces to cultivate creativity and inspire self-expression. Using found materials and assemblage art techniques, our work will explore themes like gratitude, integrity, social justice, and self-love to shape and invigorate new possibilities into our artistic practices.
Luz Elena Mendoza is a Chicana visual artist, musician, and music producer whose work explores themes of spirituality, metamorphoses, and shared humanity. This workshop mirrors Luz’s personal practice of creating visual art and poetry in tandem, “a beautiful, imperfect journey of self-discovery”. She is singer-songwriter for the band Y La Bamba.
