Wellness Wednesday: Ancestor Portraits

  • Self Help Graphics & Art 1300 East 1st Street Los Angeles, CA, 90033 United States (map)

Create a portrait of an ancestor during Self Help’s special Día de Los Muertos season as part of its Wellness Wednesday workshop on October 19, from 6:00 p.m.-7:30 p.m. Led by artist Dalila Paola Méndez, the workshop will begin with a guided meditation and sharing circle to create a safe space for remembrance. Participants will bring a photo of their loved ones and embellish the photo of their loved one using collage and mixed media. All portraits created during the workshop can be displayed in Self Help Graphics’ community altar or taken home for one’s personal altar.

No previous experience is necessary. This workshop is free and recommended for ages 15+. Space is limited, reserve your spot now!
