Asian Arts Initiative "Salon Space"
1223 Vine Street, Philadelphia, PA 19107
After gallivanting across Southeast Asia for some months now, Michelle Posadas has finally returned to Philadelphia! Join her for an evening of sharing and exchange. First we'll gander at stunning photos while listening to some of her adventures during a three-month project, which culminated into a giant parade in Taipei, Taiwan. Followed by a demonstration and try-it-yourself-right-then-and-there how to work with bamboo, a skill she acquired abroad. Together we shall unlock the mystery, learning how useful and easy this gorgeous and invasive plant can be as a medium in making giant sculptures and puppets.
This event made possible in part with funding from Leeway Foundation
