what to expect at this workshop
What does freedom look like? What can we learn from nature and our past? How can we use art as a tool in the toolbox that helps build freedom?
In this workshop, poet KB Brookins will use analysis of past art movements and overt/covert political art to invigorate participants to make their own art useful to social justice movements. This workshop will include prompts suitable for artists working in any medium (writing, visual art, etc), so come ready to free-create!
