Meztli Projects Returns to Teach Native Beading and Patchmaking

Yesterday, we welcomed back our amazing partners Meztli Projects for a second arts workshop! This time, we learned native beading techniques, which we sewed onto various patches. They talked about beading as medicine, grounding, and an intentional practice. They also shared a beading project that is currently on display in the city, showing us how art can be used as a voice and community tool.

These workshops are in collaboration with the Department of Public Health’s Substance Abuse Prevention and Control Bureau for their RYSE initiative.
