About This Event.
This event is part of a 3-day event, Red Soul Days, a semi-annual multimedia and multifaceted benefit project by CerridwenWorks (501c3 pending) that uses music, performing arts, spoken word, and visual art to raise awareness about sex & gender / race & ethnicity issues in the workplace, in schools, in media, and in interpersonal relationships. We share stories and art inspired by competing social identities and encounters with prejudice in daily life. We aim to empower survivors of violence to recover, and in turn empower others. Red Soul Days benefits 3 to 4 anti-violence organizations each year and connects artists with vulnerable populations.
