Tuesday Learning - Niche Artistic Practices

FREE ADMISSION | REGISTRATION REQUIRED | NO PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE NEEDED

At Jamii, Tuesdays are dedicated to immersive learning experiences through dynamic discussions, inspiring talks, and engaging artistic practices.

Join our thought-provoking Book Club discussions, attend captivating Culture Cloths talks, or delve into Niche Artistic Practices that might be entirely new to you. Whether you prefer committing to every Tuesday for a year-long journey, selecting specific monthly series that resonate with you, or focusing solely on the Book Club, Culture Cloths talks, or Niche Artistic Practices, there is something for you: dive into diverse learning experiences, and connect with like-minded individuals.

Centered around the vibrant theme of Forró, this workshop aims to delve into block printing formats—such as the traditional Xilogravura, a technique used and widespread in Pernambuco, which originated in cordel literature—and tells the history of popular culture in this region of Brazil. To cap off the experience, participants will engage in rubber carving, empowering each individual to craft their unique matrix and produce prints. The overarching goal is to explore Forró-related themes, including music, musical instruments, and distinctive flora indigenous to Pernambuco, such as cacti and flowers. Through this artistic journey, attendees will not only gain hands-on printing skills but also connect with the rich cultural tapestry of the Northeastern Brazil region. Click here to register now!
