Join current resident Nani Lee in the Classroom for an airbrushing workshop. We will learn how to operate and maintain an airbrush, how to make your own stencils, and how all of this can come together to personalize garments. Bring your own tee (or anything, really).

About Nani:

Emanating as sculptures and airbrushed paintings on both paper and canvas, my work investigates socioeconomic status. By personifying teeth, I demonstrate the individuality of people within various social statuses and investigate the inequality of dental care throughout history. My work is contemporary and surreal as I revisit and critically analyze the residual impacts of my childhood experiences with being unhoused, domestic trauma, Latin heritage, and sexuality, as well as reimagining moments of my everyday life and fuzzy memories that have lingered. I have explored the narrative of feeling small due to childhood trauma and have come to understand the lack of resources within mental and physical healthcare, education, economics, and race that have perpetuated this hierarchy in Western Society. Through my work, I am becoming more aware of the complexities in my experiences and creating a new narrative that invites class consciousness. I am passionately exploring my understanding of society through my personal experiences and inviting others to gain insight into my humorous ways of digesting the past and present.
