SUMMARY:KUMUKUTIKUTITAP: PAROL-PAINTING WORKSHOP
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a joyful\, hands-on workshop led by artist Maria Arenas\, where we’ll paint Capiz parols—traditional Filipino lanterns that sparkle with light\, resilience\, and community. This event is not only a chance to learn and create together\, but also a celebration of Filipino American heritage and the beloved ‘ber’ months tradition that stretches from September through December. \n📅 Date & Time: Saturday\, October 4 at 2:00 PM\n📍 Location: MoMA PS1\, Classroom (Homeroom Gallery\, 1st floor near the café)\n💲 Admission: FREE — all materials and refreshments provided\n📝 Registration: Pre-registration is required. Please register if you plan to attend—space is limited. Once registered\, you’ll receive instructions for entering the museum. \nParols—star-shaped lanterns—are a cherished symbol of the holiday season in the Philippines\, representing light\, hope\, and togetherness. Many parols are traditionally crafted from Capiz shells\, which glow beautifully in both architecture and handicrafts. Yet\, with growing global demand\, the harvesting of Capiz has become more intensive\, raising concerns about environmental impacts and local economies. \nThis workshop is the second phase of Kumikutikutitap (“to sparkle”)\, a project designed to illuminate the Little Manila neighborhood with parols. Alongside creating art\, participants will also learn about the deeper ecological and cultural stories behind Capiz. The workshop will spark dialogue about sustainability\, climate justice\, and how creative practice can connect to care for both people and place. \nNo art experience is necessary\, and materials will be provided. Ages 12+ are welcome. Please wear clothing suitable for painting\, as spills and splashes may happen. Because parols are delicate\, the activity is best suited for those comfortable working with fine materials. Light Filipino refreshments will be served. \nPresented with love + collaboration by MoMA PS1\, Little Manila Queens Bayanihan Arts\, the UKAI Initiative\, Social Practice CUNY\, and the Coalition for Asian American Children & Families. \n  \nAccessibility\nEvent will follow host’s protocol here.

SUMMARY:Sounding Data Justice - Listening Event
