Claudia will facilitate a series of seven workshops for Latinx youth on the meaning and the creative process of making tenangos. Tenangos are colorful images of mystical figures including birds, flowers and landscapes expressed in fabric, originating from the indigenous Otomi people from a town called Tenango de la Noria in the state of Hidalgo, Mexico. The project will culminate in an exhibition of the works created to be shown at the Providence Center in North Philadelphia.
