Pack your imagination and get your art passport ready! This week, we’ll explore artwork from cultures across the globe. Each stop on our journey inspires a new hands-on project back in the workshop, letting campers create their own world of art.

From Navajo weavings to Chinese ceramics, patterns are everywhere. Campers explore the galleries to discover how artists use patterns across cultures, then head to the workshop to design and create their own patterned artwork.

Hayv Kahraman paints graceful and commanding women in intertwining and seemingly impossible poses. They appear like translucent apparitions with inky halos of hair and silken skin rendered delicately in layers of oil paint and adorned in geometric Islamic patterns. Together they form a collective of Middle Eastern women, a motif Kahraman employs to celebrate her cultural identity, once repressed by violent assimilative and colonial forces.

Kahraman draws from her experience as a refugee in exile from her native Iraq, weaving ideas of narrative, memory, and diaspora. The body as object and subject play a central role in her practice, functioning as both a self-portrait and embodiment of a larger whole. Her recent work has addressed the devasting impact on vulnerable communities as a result of war, the parallels between medical terminology and military metaphors, and ecological disasters.

Create & Play is an early childhood program for ages 0-5 and their caregivers. The group is welcomed on the third Thursday of each month from October through May.

Upon arrival, participants check in at the front desk in the Hamilton Building and head down to Sharp Auditorium. There the kids are greeted by two very talented actors who initiate everyone into the "Imagination Factory." The kids are then tasked with solving a big problem: the creativity juice has run out! They must get more! To do this, the group is led to the galleries to collect the creativity juice by looking at and engaging with art! The program ends with artmaking in the early childhood classroom.
