ACADEMY OF MIGRANT ARTS: Colombian bracelets with Sebastian

Join us for the second meeting of the Academy of Migrant Arts – a series of workshops on handicrafts from different parts of the world. The workshops are led by people living in Poland with experience of migration. The Academy’s partner is the Museum of Warsaw.

This time we invite you to a workshop on making Colombian jewelry okama. Okama means a path that runs around the neck. Jewelry made with this technique is meant to protect and strengthen the one who wears it.

The workshop will be led by Sebastian Gallego from Bogota, volunteer with the Polish Migration Forum. Sebastian has been living in Poland for a year.

The workshop will be conducted in English with the possibility of translation into Polish, but we invite people from every corner of the world, we will certainly be able to communicate.

Participation in the workshop is free, the number of places is limited. The workshop is intended for adults.

Registration through the Polish Migration Forum is required: tel. 692-913-993, e-mail: zapisy@forummigracyjne.org (please write “Colombia” in the title) or by form on the PFM website.

On Thursdays the entrance to the Museum is free – if you have time before the workshop – you are welcome to visit!

The project is co-financed by the Capital City of Warsaw.
