Hands-on community art workshop & exhibition exploring the traditions of talismans—small, handmade objects that carry wishes for protection, blessing, comfort, or good fortune.
Across cultures, people have created charms, amulets, worry dolls, and keepsakes as tangible expressions of care. Talisman for the Perfect Stranger reimagines the talisman not as an object tied to a particular belief, identity, or status, but as a simple gesture of goodwill—something made for someone we may never meet.

Together, we will learn about talisman traditions from around the world, then create our own talismans for our neighbors and community using various crafting materials. Each participant will have the opportunity to give their talisman a personal wish or intention, transforming a private gesture into an offering of collective care.
