Join us for a two-hour creative session in which together we will explore the power of words. During this workshop, we will cultivate ownership of our memories and share tools for unlocking the past that you can use as material for creating ‘resistance art’.
 
The workshop is the second part to our Resistance Art Series. For the full experience make sure to join our event on November 30: Reclaiming Our Story, Building New Futures: https://bit.ly/3fwUy8C
