During this two-hour hands-on workshop, you will explore the practice of making colorful giant kites (barriletes) and their significance during Día de los Muertos in Guatemala. After learning about the Day of the Dead celebration in Guatemala and other Central American countries, participants will create large kites to fly on their own. This workshop is done in connection with the museum’s current exhibit, “Guatemalan Masks: Selections from the Jeanne and Jim Pieper Collection.” All children must be ages 8 and older, and must be accompanied by an adult. Advance online registration is required and can be done at fowlerfamilieskites.eventbrite.com/. Parking is available in UCLA Lot 4, 398 Westwood Plaza (directly off Sunset Blvd.) for $13 a day.
