How do you learn best? With pictures or words?
In this workshop participants will enter the visual world where they will build their own workshop persona, and become visual storytellers, learning how to make the truth tangible. Art has always been an important part of organizing and movement work, so together workshop goers will learn and engage with the contemporary moment of Black Citizenship and its relationship to ICE. In the end attendees will walk away with a visual journal, context for the current moment, and an understanding of how their art can inform their activism and vice versa.
All skill levels are welcome and encouraged.
