Create a one-of-a-kind bandana, inspired by the waterways, landscapes, and stories of the Southwest. Join artist and designer Jeremy Arviso of RVSO78 LLC and Original Landlords for an interactive, hands-on workshop, inspired by the ancient Indigenous canal systems that shaped the Salt River Valley.
Participants will customize their own bandana using symbols, patterns, mark-making, and personal storytelling. Like water moving through the canals and connecting communities, each bandana becomes a carrier of identity, memory, and story.
No experience necessary. All materials are provided, and participants will take home their finished creation.
Pre-registration required. Please arrive 15 minutes early. All tours and workshops meet or take place in the Nationwide Innovation Zone unless otherwise noted.
