Event Details
In honor of Latinx Heritage Month, this month's Drop-In Workshop for Families is exploring the surreal world of alebrijes. Alebrijes are fantastical, animal-inspired creatures from Mexican folklore. They're so popular that that Mexico City dedicates an entire parade to them every October, and they even pop up in the Disney animated film Coco. Learn about the significance of alebrijes and join your family in creating your own vibrant creature together.
