This episode helps us set our space and mindframe for permission-giving expression, freedom-oriented play, and invitation to draw the world we want to live in. This practice is open to people with all relationships to "drawing": rather than focusing on technique, we center our inherent birthright and ability to put pen to paper as we uplift messages of love for ourselves, each other and the planet.
Radical Futures was born out of the crisis of the current moment. In the wake of the white supremacist shootings in Atlanta, continued police brutality in Black and Brown communities, as well as looming climate catastrophe, this workshop series is inspired by the following questions: How do we form strong, autonomous communities? What do we envision strong, autonomous communities looking like? How do we keep police out of them? How do we develop faith in a better future? What skills do we need to build a more radical future?
Through the Radical Futures workshop series we strive to build stronger communities– to not only survive as Queer and Trans People of Color but also to change our circumstances. While born from a moment of crisis, this program is sustained by faith in each other, and a belief that change starts on our block.
This event will be streamed, via YouTube and we will provide you with a link to watch the stream one hour before the event.
Closed captioning is provided on all of our virtual programs.
