Special Species — an artist collaborative comprised of Jason Chang, Joel Fernando, and Yesenia Prieto — collaborate on a project for the Natural History Museum. Combining piñata-making techniques with the Mexican alebrijes tradition, their work draws attention to overlooked species and crafts, showing how cultural practices and ecological awareness can intersect.
