This two-part workshop integrates an interactive gallery tour with a related art project. Sign up in the Art Lab ten minutes ahead of the session, which begins with a short gallery tour at 11:30.
United We Win! is the title of a colorful narrative quilt about African American workers employed at the Hunters Point Shipyards during World War II and beyond. People who live in the Bayview Hunters Point neighborhood today collaborated with the artists to make the quilt. The artists also made a coloring book, Hard Hat Heroes, which tells the stories of these workers and the many jobs they performed in shipbuilding and repair. After viewing the quilt in BAMPFA’s galleries with William Rhodes, the lead artist in the quilt project, use a range of drawing and painting materials on a poster-size reproduction of a page from the coloring book to create a mixed-media artwork of your own.
Children who participate at the workshop will get a free copy of the Hard Hat Heroes coloring book to take home.
