Stop by the Fergusons Downtown rooftop patio on Sunday April 13 between 11:00 am and 2:00 pm and join Nevada Humanities, TofuTees, and Take What You Need (TWYN) for a drop-in collective art-making session inspired by the rich history and tradition of Latine poetry. Create art and come chat with us in response to creative prompts that ask us to contemplate themes like family and community, language, ancestry and identity, labor, and how we might work towards creating a more joyful and capacious future. Materials will be supplied for all participants. During the event, TWYN will be taking art supply donations for redistribution throughout Las Vegas. This is a free family-friendly event that is open to all ages and skill levels. We ask that you RSVP in advance.
This program is presented by Nevada Humanities as part of Latino Poetry: Places We Call Home, a major public humanities initiative taking place across the nation in 2024 and 2025, directed by Library of America and funded with generous support from the National Endowment for the Humanities and Emerson Collective. Places We Call Home seeks to foster nationwide conversation through a new anthology edited by Rigoberto González, events around the country, an online media archive, and a wealth of library resources meant to spur in-depth reflection and discussion on key figures and themes.
