Workshop Overview

Creation As Sustenance & Resistance

A collaboration workshop from Chicago Regional Organizing for Antiracism (CROAR) + Friendship Community Place

The current political climate in the U.S. has many of us feeling despondent, indignant and overwhelmed. It is important that in times like these we prioritize grounding ourselves and cultivating joy; our imagination can be an amazing resource for this. Engaging in collective and creative processes make a way for us to share our experiences, trials and visions; essentially allowing us to be known in ways that wouldn’t otherwise be possible. This gathering will provide opportunities to engage food, hospitality, art and music in ways that will cultivate the hope, fortitude and community that we need to continue to champion the restoration of all creation. We believe this time together will be a powerful medium to sustenance and resistance.

You'll spend the day immersed in one of three tracks — choose the one that calls to you:
