We are The Weave and the Weavers Workshop with Katherine Ospina by Young Audiences of Houston

This is a series of integrative art workshops about the art of native people from different cultures and how they used weaving for different purposes in their culture. The intention of this workshop is to create a safe space for participants to learn about the origins of art and to honor the native tribes that lived or traveled through this land before us. Participants will explore the origin of some Native American people and Native tribes from Mexico. Participants will create a weaving piece, Ojo de Dios (origin from Mexico) and Dreamcatchers. Participants will have the opportunity to learn native songs in the closing circle where we will reflect and share our experience on what was learned and how knowing the historical context of art can help participants gain a deeper understanding of the world around a us.
