YAH Workshop: Racism in Art

Join Art Historian MAUREEN KOCAHNEK and Art Therapist and Counselor DANI MOSS at 2:00 pm on Saturday, September, 21 , as we explore racism as a social construct, primarily determined by skin color, that continues to divide. When individuals listen and respond to original art, they recognize that individual voices are amplified. This art viewing and art processing workshop is a way to foster empathy and understanding, and to explore multiple viewpoints, thus bringing participants together.

Participants will view and share responses to contemporary art works made by artists of color. Concurrent with viewing and dialogue, participants will have access to art materials for expressive mark making, note taking, and informal visual response. The goal is that participants will take away strategies for visualizing, understanding, and communicating differing viewpoints and experiences.

This event is free an open to the publc, donations will be gratefully accepted.

Advanced registration is kindly requested. Please go to the registration tab above or you may call or drop by at You Are Here to register in person.
