Join the Chapman Art Collections Department for a panel discussion that brings together east and west coast artists to talk about the art of papercuts. Papercutting is a centuries-old, cross-cultural art form that remains vibrant and relevant today. Practiced by artists from Kabul to Mexico to China to Los Angeles, papercutting is an artistic language that uses humor, satire, and elegance to engage with contemporary politics, cultural traditions, and the wonder and strangeness of our external and interior worlds. This panel accompanies the exhibition Geometric Aljamía, currently on view in the Henley Galleria, 2nd floor Argyros Forum.

Funding for this program was generously provided by the Escalette Endowment and the Chapman University Art Collections.
