AARC: Embodied Cyanotype Narratives

Join the AARC and Mavyn Vu on Saturday, August 2 from 10:30am-2:00pm for Embodied Cyanotype Narratives, an intergenerational creative workshop where attendees will be able to share their personal and family stories through intergenerational conversations, oral storytelling, and collaborative mural making! Attendees should bring an object or a photo for the collaborative mural. If bringing a photo, we recommend that you submit ahead of time.

This event is a collaboration with local artist, Mavyn Vu, and is supported in part by the City of Austin Office of Arts, Culture, Music and Entertainment. It is open to all ages; however, the intergenerational conversations portion of this program is best suited for adults and children aged 10+. For younger children, we will have alternate children’s activities available. Light refreshments provided! Find the schedule, instructions for how to submit a photo for the collaborative mural, and more below. RSVP is required; please RSVP here.
