Part 4:  “Celebrating Pioneers and Achievement” - The Carnegie Library Founders

Carnage Library

This workshop will honor the 109th Anniversary of Savannah’s Carnegie Library, the only Savannah Library open to African Americans until 1963 when Savannah desegregated its libraries. Inspired by the Ikenga, a statue made and used by the Igbo people of Nigeria in celebration of the achievements of prominent community figure, this workshop will recognize and honor all the founders of the Carnegie Library whose story and contributions are not widely known. Participants will make their own Ikenga inspired art collages, consisting of images, newspaper &amp; magazine clippings, and fabrics. Participants are asked to bring in their images (max 5” by 7”) and small clippings, photos, symbolic images and other related materials about a pioneer, leader, servant of the community that they would like to honor (living or deceased). The materials attendees bring with them will be attached to a sturdy art board as part of their individual collages. -﻿-----------Please keep in mind that seats are limited, so you must RSVP for this event.
