An exhibition and series of puppet performances exploring social justice, curated by artist Tania Padilla
Visit our exhibition and performances of work by puppet troupes and independent puppeteers from across the nation who hold the common thread of engaging audiences with stories and characters to generate awareness of environmental and civil rights issues, festively create positive change and put puppets into the hands of a future generation.
Step away from the fast paced world technology! Â Suspend disbelief! Envision change and take part in the storytelling! Create a new world, and bring it to life!
