Hummingbirds: The Magical Messenger - Ts'unu'um
Join Latino Arts for an engaging hands-on workshop inspired by the rich storytelling traditions of the Maya. Students will discover the beautiful legend of the hummingbird’s creation while painting their own wooden hummingbird cutout in a style inspired by Mayan pictographs.
