Join Arts + Literature Laboratory in creating art that envisions a safe, healthy, and vibrant future! This relaxed, open-studio-style workshop is perfect for community members interested in learning more about prison-industrial-complex abolition work. Art journaling, mixed media collage, and other hands-on activities will keep us moving while we individually and collectively imagine the ingredients necessary for a creative + police-free future. Materials will be provided, but feel free to bring along your sketchbook or other favorite materials! Expect conversation, quiet art time, and togetherness in an outdoor setting.
This is a 1.5 hour, mixed ages workshop for youth as young as ten years and adults of all ages! Space is limited, so be sure to enroll each participant individually to ensure that there is space. (Guardians who intend to stick around should also enroll.) Participants should arrive with the understanding that this is an intergenerational workshop centering gentle instruction for all ages.
This is an IN-PERSON, OUTDOOR workshop; will be held near one of our learning garden sites downtown or on the near east side. Exact location and remaining logistics will be emailed to participants prior to the start of class. Please arrive wearing masks. This workshop may be rescheduled due to inclement weather or any changing public health guidelines.
