White Artists for Racial Justice and SURJ @ Sacred Heart are hosting a three-part series, Make Art Make Justice this summer on Zoom. Make Art Make Justice is a three-part practical workshop bringing the artistic process to social justice organizing, especially for SURJ leaders and others engaged in white anti-racist organizing. Workshop leaders Alexis McNabb and Jennifer Myhre have been successfully integrating creativity and arts into their SURJ @ Sacred Heart's work for several years and seen how arts energize members and sustain people in taking action. They will share what they've learned and you'll come away with workshop models and exercises to lead yourself.

Part 1 - Sunday, July 25 1-3pm PT
In this session we will give an introduction to the Make Art Make Justice model of art-based workshops for white anti-racist organizers, and share some recent case studies and resources developed by our chapter’s Art & Culture Working Group. Participants will get to know each other and start to build cohorts of support in order to start planning your art-based social-justice event.
