Announcing the launch of the Humanities Institute Makerspace! On select afternoons this academic year, 198 Hagerty Hall will be open for drop-in art-making. Led by a rotating list of co-sponsors, the maker space will offer projects and materials in a variety of media, with projects reflecting the content and interests of our centers and other humanities affiliates. New this semester: HI MS will also travel to locations around the Oval with a travelling art studio experience.
Makerspace events are free, open to everyone and welcoming to all. No registration is required- drop in and make art in your own time.
This month: celebrate the Lunar New Year by creating Spring Festival Couplets (chunlian) with brushes, ink and red papers! Practice a cultural tradition that started more than a thousand years ago and is still thriving today. Experience how Chinese calligraphy sees and presents life (shufa)! Light refreshments will be served. Co-hosted with the Department of East Asian Languages and Literatures.
