As part of Lawndale’s weekly Creation Station event every Saturday, they will be unveiling the Solidarity Fabric Art piece made by Artist Diane Williams. The unveiling will be followed by a program of magical stories with lions, dragons...and even how a brave mama mouse fooled a cat! Join us for an afternoon of multicultural stories from Africa, Latin America, & Asia the whole family will enjoy!
This fabric art piece was commissioned by LA vs Hate to a local Filipinx interdisciplinary artist and researcher Diane Williams. Williams used amalgamated fabrics with cultural significance, melding layers of translucent materials and embroidery. The hand embroidered outlines of national flowers from multiple cultures signify - the diverse cultural backgrounds of Los Angeles County and the nation. For centuries, flowers have been symbols of unity, love, hope, camaraderie and healing.
This event will include the art piece unveiling, food, drinks and cultural performances.
