Dolls of East Asia: A Journey Through Time and Culture
Join us for a unique celebration of Asian American & Pacific Islander Heritage Month! Everyone has a culture, whether it's through recipes, traditions, costumes, or heirlooms passed from one generation to the next. P.E.A.C.E. (Powerful Experiences for Art & Cultural Exchange, Inc.) will lead an interactive presentation on Eastern cultures through its collection of authentic Asian dolls, which will be featured in the library's display cases throughout May. Each doll is from a different Asian nation and represents its unique history of dance, dress, food, and craft. They also serve as a window into women's lives and the roles they play within their respective societies. This talk will foster a deeper understanding of the rich tapestry of traditions that make up our world.
This is a hybrid program; patrons have the option of attending in-person at the library or virtually on Zoom. Registration is required; please sign up using this link!
