Join me Zahirah Nur Truth of ZNT Arts guest artist for Cambridge Public Library. I will be facilitating a 2-hour virtual workshop on Social Justice that honors identity creative expression as a tool to empower young people to speak up against injustice in our communities and the world around us. We will use text art inspired by artists and reflect on recent injustices to inspire the use of one's own voices to create mini protest signs/banners. We will use art-making techniques related to comics and more.
We invite tweens and teens to join us for this 2-hour virtual workshop. Register below. Zoom link will be emailed to registrants one hour before the program begins. Space is limited. If you register but later find you cannot attend, please remember to cancel your registration to make space for others.
