Creative Arts Open Hours: Threads of Assumption Artists
Thursday, November 17, 6 – 7:30 PM
How have we experienced gender bias in our culture, families, communities, and religious affiliations?
Threads of Assumption artists, Martha, Sofie, U-Meleni, and Maria, invite the community to participate in the upcoming art exhibition of poetry, music, and weavings. Join the artists for a workshop on Thursday, November 17 from 6 – 7: 30 PM in the East Hartford Public Library Makerspace. 
 
Using provided looms, workshop attendees will make an individual yarn weaving using their own stories around gender bias as inspiration. While weaving and chatting with the artists, attendees can tell their stories to one another or write them down individually. 
 
The stories and weavings will be made anonymous and translated by both the artists and artificial intelligence for the exhibition at the library in April 2023. The workshop is free and open to the public. People of all genders are welcome. Please register.
 
The Raymond Library is located at 840 Main St., East Hartford, CT.
