Tinker Lab: Storytelling Shadow Puppets!

 

Inspired by the the new exhibition Transformer: Native Art in Light and Sound, this program explores the intersection of art, science, and technology through hands-on, experimental activities. Tinker Lab projects focus on a different artist and artwork each month.

This month: Artist Stephen Foster’s artwork brings to life the Haida story of the Raven who carried daylight to his dark world by evoking hand shadows during a camping trip. Explore the tradition of storytelling through the world of shadow puppets by creating your own 2-D or 3-D printed character.
