Common Thread: Hilorama Collaborative Artwork

Hilorama, or string art, is a popular craft in Mexico that requires only small nails, a piece of plywood, and thread. Join Teaching Artist-in-Residence David Enriquez in creating a communal hilorama to be exhibited in Greene Education Center for the duration of The World of Frida. Together, participants will create a work of art that alludes to Frida’s love for handcrafted indigenous textiles (huipiles) and the symbols used to express her pain and ailments.
