Arts and Culture Organizing

Date: 
Sep 30 2007 3:00pm - 5:00pm
Event Description: 

ART, CULTURE AND THEATER FOR A CHANGE!

How can we use art, culture, and theater to help us organize, mobilize, educate and win? How can we understand and counter the stories of our oppressors?

Come to a workshop at the Jack Pine Community Center (2815 East Lake Street) on Sunday September 30th from 3 to 5 p.m. and share your ideas!
See pictures of how art, theater, and spectacle has been used in large-scale mobilizations. Hear stories of how art can be used in organizing for social change. Participate in some theater-making exercises to stretch your legs and your imagination! Art, culture and theater are essential to tell our stories, win public support, keep us hopeful, have fun, and communicate powerfully from our hearts.

David Solnit, who will facilitate, is an arts organizer and puppeteer who uses culture, art, giant puppets, direct action and theater in mass mobilizations, and as an organizing tool. He has worked with farmworker, unions, environmental justice, immigrant rights, anarchist, anti-war, and human rights groups. He is the editor of Globalize Liberation and co-author of Army of None.

News you can use

Choose your school

By James Sanna , TC Daily Planet

Saturday is School Choice Day in both Minneapolis and St. Paul. If you’re the parent of a student, you have the opportunity to send your child to either the public school in your neighborhood or a magnet school. You also have the opportunity to send your child to a charter or a private school. Both school districts, and metro-area charter schools, are planning one-stop information fairs where, they say, you can find out all you need to know about schools where you might want to send your child.

Weekend What's What 1/8-1/11: Hunt and gather

By staff , l'etoile magazine

Way to bounce back! The Twin Cities seem to have easily shaken off their holiday lethargy just in time for a pretty rockin’ weekend. Art exhibits, which have been on holiday hiatus as of late, are back in full effect; while rock shows and dance parties continue to ignite flames all over town. Our suggestion? Go out on the prowl! Meet some new people, see some new sights, and experience some fresh excitement. It is 2009 after all (an excuse we’ll be using throughout January, if not February). MORE »
