Join us for this free Community Day, where we will create the quintessential Lido Pimienta: Two Heads Think Better Than One sculpture, together with Artist in Residence Lido Pimienta. In this session, attendees will use slab and/or pinching techniques to form the two heads stacked on a pedestal. Workshop participants will have the freedom to draw or build their own faces with their own expressions. A step-by-step tutorial by the artist will be available for download.

Lido Pimienta is an interdisciplinary artist-curator and musician. Her work explores the politics of gender, race, motherhood, identity and the construct of the Canadian/North American landscape in the Latin American Diaspora and vernacular: "Every work that I put out to the world is created with the intention of portraying or rather showing the Caribbean as Sublime not Exotic. In the most summed up version of myself, or rather in the most simple terms, I would describe myself as a Portrait Artist. I mainly paint people, I paint people that look like me and the people that made me and the people that made them. Diaspora, Motherhood, Land Back and the right to be racially radicalized people that do nothing in a world of over stimuli and over-productivity is my favourite place to be. I put that vision on paper and share with whoever wants it."
