About this event

In this workshop Thaís demonstrates several ways to wear a turban and headscarf, as well as explaining the history and meaning behind them.

The Turbante-se workshop by artist Thaís Muniz goes beyond practical tutorials to share the rich and complex history of turbans and headwraps in Afro-Atlantic cultures. Spanning ancient to contemporary times, delve into characters, traditions, new meanings, and the non-verbal communication implied through the head. Discover its role in art, politics, and aesthetics and learn to use the same scarf for head wraps & clothing styles. More than teaching you how to tie, she wants to tell you why.

The full Workshop lasts around 1 hour and 30 minutes, where you'll learn 7 styles of headwraps and 3 creative ways to use scarves as clothing and includes a headwrap to get you started!
