Thursday, May 7
6:30 - 8:30pm
PSH Durham (1809 Chapel Hill Rd in Durham, white building)
Sliding scale $25-$55
In this wild moment in time, we often struggle to know how to show up in community, creative projects, and as humans. Guilt and fear around “not knowing enough” and "not showing up the right way” spill out in unexpected ways.
We have the medicine for this! Join Karen and Isabel for a night of low-stakes art activities geared towards healing white supremacy culture and building resilience in creativity and mutual care.
In this workshop, we’ll get to know one another, learn a few specific tools for overcoming perfectionism, and engage in playful art-making to practice releasing our attachment to doing things Right.
Everyone will leave with a few tangible ways to gently practice openness and transformative justice with loved ones and in community spaces. We hope you’ll join us for a night of making weird art and sharing in the experiences of grief and hope.
