Location:Alexandria Black History Museum, 902 Wythe St. (Map This)
Event Details:In this adult and child workshop, bring two copies of a photo of someone who is a “Legend” in your family. Artist Sushmita Mazumdar will teach you how to make a handmade storybook in which you can write the story and make the art to go with it. The photos make the cover of this lovely keepsake for the family.



Inspired by the Living Legends of Alexandria exhibit currently on view at the Alexandria Black History Museum, Family Legends of Alexandria programs encourage multigenerational story-sharing through workshops that include writing, photography, and book arts. Since 2011, founder Nina Tisara and Arlington-based artist Sushmita Mazumdar have been encouraging children to ask for and document the stories of their families, as they are also the stories of their city.
