Event Details

Join us to celebrate Nuestra Cultura by making your own paper 3D Alebrije! Alebrijes are brightly colored Mexican Folk Art Sculptures of mystical creatures. We see and hear a lot about Alebrijes during Day of the Dead celebrations! 

San Diego Public Library presents Nuestra Cultura, a series celebrating and recognizing the rich heritage, history, contributions, and culture of our Latin American and Indigenous communities. We recognize that there is deeply rooted pride in heritage and that self-identities are important, unique, and may change over time. We celebrate with an array of programs for all ages and recommended reading and listening lists from our English and Spanish collections.

Children’s craft every Thursday at 4pm. Join us every week to learn a different medium, how to recycle everyday materials into art, and explore monthly observances and holidays!

*Registration Required.
