Guatemalan Worry Doll Workshop In-Person
Worry is an emotion that we all experience, regardless of our cultural or ethnic background.
The Worry Doll program addresses the topic of worry through art with a purpose.
According to Guatemalan legend, the sun god gifted Princess Ixmucane with the ability to alleviate people’s worries. In modern times, we create dolls in her honor and confide our worries to them before retiring for the night, placing them under our pillows. In the morning, we believe that the dolls have taken away our worries or provided solutions.
Presented by Andrea Del Cid an educator for the Worry Doll Program (El programa de las muñecas quitapenas) and the Vice Chair for the Reher Center for Immigrant Culture and History.
