During our temporary closure in 2020, the Rubin Museum launched The Lotus Effect, a digital to physical participatory installation comprising folded lotuses contributed by you, the public. Hear more about this project in this short video and learn how to create your own origami lotus with artist Uttam Grandhi. Photograph your creation and dedicate it to someone or something that supports your resilience. Share your lotus on social media using the #TheLotusEffect and tagging @RubinMuseum.
