Join the Education Department for the second special artist workshop with artist collective, KUNIKLO. As Viva la Vida’s Artist in Residency, KUNIKLO will be featured during the Viva la Vida Festival and Parade. Mexic-Arte Museum’s activities during the workshop will highlight this year’s festival theme of “Alebrijes”, fantastical creatures of Mexican folklore—most recently featured in Disney-Pixar’s movie Coco. KUNIKLO will guide visitors (of all ages) through the creation of decorative masks and alebrije caterpillars using recycled materials.

It is comprised of Diego Mireles Duran, Chereya Esters, Olivia Warner, Jose Luis Sanabria, and Luis Gabriel Sanabria. The collective’s practice centers on themes of nature, culture, rituals, and investigations into literary and philosophical theory.
