To the Place We Love
To the Place We Love is a free book-making workshop led by Coffee Kang and Evelyn Hang Yin. It is part one of a public programming series that accompanies to draw a house, an exhibition by the two artists at LA Artcore. In this 3-hour workshop, participants are invited to look at photographs and moving images from the VC Archives that showcase stories from Chinatowns. Following an open discussion and interpretation of the archive, participants will create accordion-style books that embody their personal stories about a place that they love, using various techniques including tracing, drawing, cyanotype, and collage. The workshop is free, family-friendly, and open to all ages.
