January 18 & 19 / 10AM-5PM

Deets: Brooklyn Children’s Museum will present its annual Celebrate Martin Luther King, Jr. festival on Sunday and Monday, January 18–19, from 10AM-5PM each day. The festival will engage children in the power of peaceful protest, imagination, and service, in the spirit of the late Civil Rights Movement leader, Martin Luther King, Jr.

 BCM will host two days of interactive workshops and inspiring performances during the holiday weekend. Activities will include a peaceful protest workshop, where kids will make their own protest signs for a march around the Museum. The march will be led by Grammy-nominated musician and artist, Fyütch, who will perform songs that speak to MLK's values and convictions.

Visitors can also participate in a puppet-making workshop and interactive shadow puppet performance inspired by Dr. King's speeches. Created by Nehprii Amenii in collaboration with performers Emmanuel Elpenord, Amparo "Chigui" Santiago, and Marina Celander, the performance invites children to join in with puppets they create during the workshop.

Additional activities include a drop-in community service project with Jewish service non-profit Repair the World, and a celestial monoprinting workshop in the Museum’s art studio inspired by abstract artist Mildred Thompson that invites children to imagine a better world through art.
