🌵✨ TierrArte: Fight for Public Lands – Workshop 1 ✨🌵
AZ(LAND) invites you to join us for the first TierrArte “Fight for Public Lands” workshop, led by Phoenix-based artist Kate Tutaya Figgins, on Saturday, October 18th from 10 AM – 12 PM at the Sagrado Galleria.
This interactive Arts-based session will blend pinata-making, reflection, and storytelling to deepen our collective understanding of Arizona's rivers, public lands, and the systemic forces shaping them. Together we'll transform new knowledge into creative pinata artifacts and engage in a ritual of unlearning and breaking down harmful narratives that have distorted and erase the waterways connected to our public lands in Arizona
🎶 Arrival & Welcome with music and materials.
✂️ Create artifacts embodying river learnings through paper-mâché and zine prompts.
🎨 Collaborative piñata ritual: rejecting harmful narratives about rivers and embodying them through pinata making
💭 Reflection, gratitude, and ritual destructions of the piñata
Event Details:
📍 Sagrado Galleria, Phoenix
📅 Saturday, October 18th, 2025

This is the first of three TierrArte/eARTh workshops leading up to Teatrico AZ(LAND) in March at Carl Hayden High School, a culminating community symposium of performances, art, and environmental justice advocacy.
We hope you’ll join us to honor the river, make art, and fight for our shared public lands.
With gratitude,
The AZ(LAND) Team
