 e heartfelt\, reflective\, and deeply human.\nBoth choirs are part of Path

 patterned piece\, Four Self-Portraits.\nThis workshop empowers participants
  of all ages and skill levels to create and personalize zines at their own 
 pace. This hands-on activity offers a tangible connection to the museum's A

 ically captured personal expression and cultural moments.
