Please note: this event will meet in the Wisconsin Idea Room, 1199.
Join MFA student Mariah Moneda in the Work In Progress (WIP) Lab to learn how to fold paper butterflies as part of the artist’s ongoing project.
For her workshop Messengers for the Living, artist Mariah Moneda invites the community to join her in creating folded paper butterflies—a symbol in Filipino folklore for transformation, rebirth, and the eternal cycle of life and death—as an act to pause and consider the present.
Participants are invited to learn how to fold butterflies from upcycled newsprint, photos, and posters from the Madison area, and add them to a growing sculpture, as an honor to our community’s past, and as a message for today.
Space is limited. Please sign up so we know you are coming!
You are also welcome to explore the other materials available in the WIP Lab or bring your own project to work on whenever the gallery is open.
