Recognizing Guatemalan Heritage through Food, Craft, and Art
In this free program, participants will learn how to make Guatemalan worry dolls, a craft originating in the Guatemalan highlands. This region is the focal point of Snapshots of Guatemala Highlands, a quilt exhibition by local artist Kathleen McCabe, who will be present alongside her display. Participants will also get the chance to try Guatemalan snacks and hear from Los Angeles-based, Guatemalan-American artist Paula Sontay, who will speak with visitors during the program and share about her art practice.
Visions Museum of Textile Art is an official partner of SoCal SoCraft, a month-long series of free public programs highlighting the artists, makers, institutions, and creative spaces that define Southern California’s craft culture. Presented in conjunction with Handwork 2026, a national initiative of Craft in America, SoCal SoCraft invites residents and visitors to explore San Diego through hands-on experiences, exhibitions, artist demonstrations, tours, workshops, and open studios. This program is funded by Arts District Liberty Station.
