Learn how natural materials like plants and minerals are used to make dyes and paints, and how these practices carry stories and cultural meaning. After the talk, participants will get to try making their own natural paints using tools passed down through artist Manuel Axel Strain’s family. No art experience needed—just curiosity and a willingness to get hands-on.

In the wild and wonderful world of women’s fiction, stories by and about Asian women are, let’s be honest, a bit like spotting a phoenix. That’s why your support means for the world—to me and to every future storyteller who needs proof that our voices matter!
