María Guadalupe shows you how to transform simple ceramic animals into colorful alebrijes, animal figurines traditionally carved of wood and painted in bright patterns. MOLAA will provide 25 participants with free mini painting kits which include: one ceramic figurine, four mini tubs of acrylic paint and two brushes. Kits will be distributed on a first come, first served basis this Saturday, October 24th and Sunday, October 25th, from 12PM to 4PM. They must be picked up at the museum located at 628 Alamitos Avenue, Long Beach, CA 90804. Limit four kits per family or one per person. 

As a woman born in Mexico and raised in the United States, Maria Guadalupe’s work navigates multiple spaces, including migration, pilgrimage, gender roles/gender markers, the boundaries of class, as well as the in-between space created as a result of her hybrid culture. 

Through sculpture and print, she celebrates and critically engages the expectations of gender, culture, and identity.
