Living and Loving Under the Carceral State: Craft Night
When we create art in community, we break isolation, tell our stories and cultivate our imaginations so we can shape future possibilities together. We lighten the burden of our shared experiences and build collective power.
Bring your own projects, or work with the materials we have available and enjoy a designated space to create alongside other community members with incarcerated loved ones.
Storytelling, Singing & NW Coast Haida Formline Workshop
Using her ancient Haida artform, Sondra Segundo leads participants in a step-by-step lesson using watercolor pencils and brushes to create traditional NW Coast Native Formline artwork. Sondra will also share multilingual stories and songs.
