Racial Equity Exploration: A Theatrical, Interactive Experience
We invite you to continue your racial equity journey...
Drawing upon popular education, Theater of the Oppressed, and critical race theory models, we will collectively create a container for deeper learning. Together, we will unpack theoretical frameworks and gain practical tools for deepening our shared commitment to racial equity. No previous theater experience necessary.
In this workshop we will:
-Recognize how racism is operationalized and baked into our laws and social policies
-Develop a framework for understanding how race and racism operate both in our systems and our individual lives
-Learning goals:
-How to recognize moments of oppression
-Practice interrupting oppression
-Learn how to use equity, diversity, and inclusion language responsibly
Snacks, Lunch ( we will use a POC owned local business) and beverages provided. Ample free parking.
