Join Poster House and artist Maria Veronica San Martin in this 3D Tunnel Book Workshop inspired by the exhibition Reading Under Fire: Arming Minds & Hearts During Wartime. Participants will create a layered, hardcover tunnel book that expresses their personal vision of freedom. All materials are provided but participants are welcome to bring photos, artwork, archival materials, text, and/or historic images—such as protest posters or family memorabilia—to make their books truly unique. Each participant will leave with a one-of-a-kind tunnel book.
