Since time immemorial Wôpanâak people have shaped the world around us, leading to creations connected to the land, waterways, and our non-human relatives. From soapstone to wood, weaved mats of cedar and cattails and more, come to learn about the world of Wôpanâak creations and material culture across time. Participants will have the opportunity to view and discuss historical and contemporary creations and their meanings throughout this workshop before engaging in an opportunity to discuss cultural boundaries and opportunities for collaboration or appreciation around creation. To conclude, we will get our hands busy and have an opportunity to create a belonging associated with the materials discussed that respects cultural boundaries.
This event is led by Brad Lopes (Aquinnah Wampanoag), ACC Education and Outreach Coordinator.
