Watch as Mexican-American artist Alison Zapata paints and papier-mâchés Pepita from Coco, and learn about the cultural significance of alebrijes. #HispanicLatinxHeritageMonth | Pixar

🦎what is an Alebrije? ✨ This past month, 5 of our teaching artists led community workshops with the goal of making large-scale backpack Alebrije puppets. Artists @boada.gustavo and @lilspacekidd explain the story of Alebrijes and how they decided what kind to make. Stay tuned to see the final product! *This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Minnesota state Arts Board, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund. #pup
