Artist Gaby Ōshiro will lead a workshop at the Emmanuel Art Gallery in connection with her artworks in the gallery’s exhibition, Absolute Immunity. From 10am-1pm on October 9, all are welcome to stop by and make a Japanese paper lantern (chouchin) to honor one of the 30,000 disappeared (desaparecidos) from Argentinean dictatorship’s campaign against its political opponents and innocent victims suspected of being dissidents from 1974-1983. The lanterns will become their own installation in the gallery until Absolute Immunity closes on November 2. No advance registration is required, and the gallery will provide all supplies.
This program is a part of the Auraria Campus’ observance of Dia de Los Muertos, which officially takes place on October 30 at St. Cajetan’s.
