Artist Elana Mann leads students in a flag-making workshop inspired by the ideas in Paul Klee’s painting Refuge in the exhibition Maven of Modernism: Galka Scheyer in California. The flag design follows the prompt: What does refuge mean to you? Students learn about various flag-making techniques and about the ways in which flags have typically been used as symbols of national or ethnic identity. Each student crafts her or his own fabric flag promoting an individual vision of refuge.
