Mythical Armor Workshop
Saturday, July 19, 2025 • 12:00–2:00 PM • In Person • $20
Join AMOCA for a hands-on armor-making workshop! Participants will have the opportunity to create their own shoulder piece or forearm mythical armor inspired by Cannupa Hanska Luger’s installationThis is Not a Snake, and The One Who Checks & The One Who Balances, on view in Making in Between: Indigenous Americans. This piece is built around the waste and leftovers of capitalist exports along with the two warriors dressed in regalia, presenting a fictional narrative of how Indigenous communities practice sustainability in response to environmental crises.
The workshop will begin with an exhibition tour of Making in Between, led by AMOCA’s Exhibition and Education Managers. They’ll offer insights into Luger’s work, followed by the hands-on activity.
To create the mythical armor, participants will use cardboard, tape, glue guns, razor blades, scissors, and felt. The shoulder piece or forearm armor you create in the workshop will be yours to take home with you! All materials are included, and light refreshments will be available.
Youth 16 and under must be accompanied by an adult. Pre-registration is required.
Your Mythical Armor ticket includes admission to the museum the day of the event. AMOCA is open 11am- 4pm on Saturday, July 19.
