Do you know what's on your block? Join The Laundromat Project for a neighborhood drawing workshop that references the visual cues of artist Kira Lynn Harris's The Block | Bellona, a re-imagining of Romare Bearden's The Block (1971.) Using oil pastels and watercolors, participants will learn how to make a  drawing of their own neighborhood block. Bring a picture of your neighborhood or just your imagination and you'll leave with a new understanding of where you live and visual representation of where you live.
