Grief Traditions with Patti Smithsonian

This month, join historian and local artist, Patti Smithsonian, to explore grief traditions from cultures around the world. Enjoy a slide show and hands-on tactile practices that portray different historic mourning customs. Some lost customs might be worthy of revival! 

Patti Smithsonian has a background in performing arts, puppetry, and restorative practices. She teaches audiences of all ages, with a special focus on older adults, through a variety of artistic modalities, including 2-D storytelling through making comics, small books (zines), and drawing.
