Mesoamerican beaten bark papers, known as\u0026nbsp;amate,\u0026nbsp;amatl, or\u0026nbsp;huun,\u0026nbsp;have been used by ancient bookmakers and scribes to produce codices since pre-Columbian times. Explore traditional\u0026nbsp;amate\u0026nbsp;papermaking technique along with modern innovations as practiced by a 21st-century artist and papermaker.\u0026nbsp;Lisa Miles creates one-of-a-kind beaten bark\u0026nbsp;paperworks\u0026nbsp;using plant-based materials and natural dyes. Approximating traditional methods, Miles creates bark paper by beating plant fibers with a volcanic stone on a wood board. Instead of the\u0026nbsp;ficus\u0026nbsp;native to Mexico, she crosses cultures and uses Japanese\u0026nbsp;kozo\u0026nbsp;and\u0026nbsp;mitsumata\u0026nbsp;fibers. By incorporating modern advancements alongside historic practices, she examines the role of humans as tool users and makers of meaning. Miles will be sharing a brief history of bark paper, demonstrating\u0026nbsp;amate-style papermaking, and connecting the process to her contemporary art practice.\u0026nbsp;This program is geared towards adult audiences.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Explore traditional amate papermaking technique along with modern innovations as practiced by a 21st-century artist and papermaker."}],"uid":"30829","created_gmt":"2022-02-03 17:52:58","changed_gmt":"2022-02-03 17:52:58","author":"Virginia Howell","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2022-03-08T19:30:00-05:00","event_time_end":"2022-03-08T20:30:00-05:00","event_time_end_last":"2022-03-08T20:30:00-05:00","gmt_time_start":"2022-03-09 00:30:00","gmt_time_end":"2022-03-09 01:30:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2022-03-09 01:30:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"655140":{"id":"655140","type":"image","title":"Lisa Miles","body":null,"created":"1643910477","gmt_created":"2022-02-03 17:47:57","changed":"1643910477","gmt_changed":"2022-02-03 17:47:57","alt":"Left side of image shows fibers creating a grid.
