About the Event

Engage in a creative activity inspired by the MCA’s current exhibition of artist Wafaa Bilal, whose work investigates the tension between personal and political ideas, often through the use of emerging technologies. This workshop is facilitated by Teen Creative Agency Apprentice Madeleine Affable, along with members of the UIC Arab American Cultural Center.
