Protest Puppets
About
Join artist and educator Lynn Petersen for a workshop inspired by her exhibition Radical Joy. Using simple feltmaking techniques, participants create a protest finger puppet of their own whilst reflecting on the themes explored throughout the exhibition.Participants are invited to consider how humour and creativity can be used to express a personal story, hope, or act of resistance through the lens of radical joy. Each puppet becomes a small gesture of protest and optimism - a response to the challenges and concerns shaping our communities and world.
