Join Ebere Agwuncha for a discussion and design workshop with sketching and Legos! (For 3-6th Graders)

Join Evanston Public Library for a series of Art Talks where we invite artists from all mediums to come discuss their design process. This month, Ebere Agwuncha joins us for an interactive workshop to explore the design process through ideation, sketching, and Lego building challenges.

Ebere Agwuncha (she/they) is a Chicago-based designer, maker, writer and Igbo-design-artist-researcher. As an i.d.a.r her work explores archived artifacts and images from the African Diaspora - concentrated within Nigeria - and preserving them into contemporary iterations.

Creative Blocks, Collective Dreams” - a multi-community arts engagement engaging five South and Southwest Side neighborhoods in Chicago this summer. They are working with Norman Teague / Norman Teague Design Studios this year for the Chicago Architecture Biennial in collaboration with architect Negin Moayer and Project Hood. She is a part of the place keeping initiative - in ℅ Black women as a contributor, facilitator, and designer. They have also worked with Ọkpara House© as a producer, Alt_ as a designer-in-residence, and recently published in Plates Journal. She holds a B.Industrial Design degree from Iowa State University.
