Cut It Out: Papercutting Traditions and Beyond
February 18 – October 3, 2026 - Racine Art Museum
441 Main Street, Racine, WI 53403
Papercutting as a creative handicraft has roots in many cultures, including centuries-old examples from China, the Polish tradition of wycinanki, and the Mexican history of papel picado. Celebrating handwork and recognizing its potential to connect across time, space, and geography, this exhibition combines various forms of papercutting. Through large- and small-scale works, contemporary makers expand upon tradition, adding their voices to rich creative lineages. To further illustrate this concept, shadow puppet theater utilizing paper silhouettes will be performed throughout the run of the show.
