Join us for our second Indigo Dye Day program to mark the start of Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month. The event will again be hosted by former Writers Institute Graduate Assistant Kaori Otera Chen of the UAlbany Anthropology Department, and noted textile artist, Darius Homayounpour.

 

Last year’s gathering drew more than 100 people— including preschoolers, young families, UAlbany students and senior citizens— to learn about the cultural history of indigo dyeing, create an indigo textile artwork to bring home, and celebrate AAPI heritage.
