We invite you to the Community Arts Center for a Family FUNday, filled with storytelling and crafting, inspired by vintage Maya textiles on display from August 30 through October 15. Become familiar with the Maya folktale “How the Hummingbird Got Her Colors,” a radiant story of birds and gift giving. Create your own bird puppet with the option to participate in the puppet show!
The workshop is led by Laura Martin, PhD. She is a linguist and specialist in Maya culture and languages. She retired as emerita professor of modern languages, anthropology, and health sciences at Cleveland State University in 2005. Her fieldwork experience includes multiple lengthy stays in Mexico, Guatemala, and Venezuela. She hopes to share her knowledge with everyone attending!
