DESCRIPTION:Come see Tim Harper’s multimedia work this September! With a
  background including Design\, Collage\, and Found Object Sculpture\, Tim 
 has a keen interest in projects that occupy the space between science and 
 art. He also creates public sculpture with his friend Matt Lively. \nHis p
 ieces started as daily drawing exercises. Each morning\, Tim draws on a ta
 blet with his morning coffee\, mostly birds and flowers. Eventually he sta
 rted adding collage from old maps\, graphs\, charts\, and his own photos. 
 That grew into experiments transferring his digital collages to wood\, the
 n adding more traditional collage/drawing/painting on top. He did not star
 t with any plan for these pieces\; at each step he responded to what the i
 magery was doing until he felt like something interesting was happening. S
 ome of the collage elements are from old survey maps\, which included blan
 k areas labeled ‘No Reliable Data Available.’ He thought that was a fi
 tting title\, as many of the pieces include data suggesting a story\, but 
 not necessarily a reliable one.

DESCRIPTION:What are ALEBRIJES?\nAlebrijes are brightly colored\, fantasti
 cal creatures from Mexican folk art that often combine features from vario
 us animals—real and mythical—into a single\, surreal form. Originating
  in the 1930s with artist Pedro Linares\, who dreamt of strange hybrid bei
 ngs while ill and later recreated them in papier-mâché\, alebrijes are k
 nown for their vivid colors\, intricate patterns\, and imaginative designs
 . While originally not tied to spiritual beliefs\, many contemporary inter
 pretations associate alebrijes with symbolic meanings\, including represen
 tations of the four elements: earth\, air\, fire\, and water. For example\
 , a creature might have wings for air\, scales for water\, claws for earth
 \, and flames or bright colors symbolizing fire. Today\, they are celebrat
 ed as iconic symbols of Mexican art\, appearing in festivals\, museums\, a
 nd parades. We are excited to bring these magical creatures to the Garden 
 and plan to offer a variety of activities and programs to enhance the gues
 t experience. This will be the first time the Alebrijes will be in a Botan
 ical Garden\, and their first time visiting the East Coast!

 uraged to share their best work and any discoveries they had made or diffi
 culties they ran into. This is a fun learning experience in itself! \nFees

DESCRIPTION:Join Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden on the road as we explore 1
 930s Mexico City with Chef Danny Mena at Conejo. This class is inspired by
  the post-revolutionary era where an increase in poverty prompted a cultur
 al shift that elevated traditional staples such as corn\, beans\, and chil
 es into symbols of national identity. In the mid-to-late 1800s\, French tr
 aditions dominated the culinary landscape due in large part to the reign o
 f Maximiliano and Carlota. Contemporary Mexican cuisine is a rich fusion b
 orn of historical evolution\; ultimately\, French\, Spanish\, and indigeno

 materials. Bring a water-tight urn or compote (at least 3” deep) for you
