Art in Exile

How do you create works of art that critique a community, government, or country from which you have been ostracized while also rejecting colonial stereotypes forced on you by those that have provided asylum/allyship?

Beyond the Research Report: How to Shift the Narrative

We will explore how the research process itself can be a powerful tool for engaging communities. Participants will learn how to communicate research to shift narratives and influence policy.

Ye Olde Femmes: Histories of Queer Femme Art and Ideas

Facilitating Youth-led Participatory Action Research

Register for the AMC

The practice of youth-led participatory action research (YPAR) asserts that youth have a right to research the conditions that shape our lives. This workshop will be led by a group of youth who are doing YPAR to collect and share the stories of undocumented immigrant youth. We will explain our YPAR process step-by-step, from deciding on a research focus, to collaboratively collecting and analyzing data, to using this information to create social change. Participants will walk away with a better understanding of how to use YPAR in their own activist efforts.

Organizing & Collaborating Inside & Outside of Prison

Register for the AMC

How do we coordinate and communicate with imprisoned organizers who are far away, behind razor wire and walls? We will share how we have used media to support mass actions inside Pennsylvania prisons, held art and theatre workshops in jails, fought alongside imprisoned loved ones, and created coalitions involving the participation and leadership of people who can’t be physically present at events. Participants will learn how to use culture-based strategies to make media-based organizing accessible to those most marginalized.

Reparations for Democratic New Economic Development

Register for the AMC

How can we expand the discussion on reparations in a way that is moral, historically rooted, economically centered and forward looking? Can we argue for expanding productive opportunities rather than simply facilitating additional consumption? We will draw connections between the history of genocide and slavery and the current inequalities in wealth and opportunity. We will learn why reparations should be linked to access to wealth and capital for building cooperative economies in oppressed communities.
