Interested in being a part of this here in Somerville?
Run a workshop. Workshops are food for the brain, body, or soul, and can be on anything from screenprinting to Standing Rock, decompression strategies to anti-displacement. What do you want to learn? What do you want to share?
Build a cohort. This is an opportunity for us to strengthen our collaboration muscles and build a cohort of people -- Somervillians, artists, old timers, crafty folks, educators, hipsters, and activists of all stripes -- to reach across boundaries and help to lift each other up. We need each other now more than ever!
Intergenerational. If you've been around the block and have seen all this a million times -- or if you're just-recently-not-a-kid and are terrified out of your mind - we want your perspective and your voice. CITS, Full Circle cohort, youth leaders, and youth organizers: you especially are invited!
And - hopefully - multilingual. March 18 is a quick turnaround time for translation, but we are excited and eager to get it in place for May. For either date we are excited about running workshops in languages other than English. Do you have an idea for a workshop you'd like to run? Let us know!
Somerville local (and Cambridge, and Medford, and Arlington, you too!) Strategies for creative resistance, anti-engagement, grassroots mobilization, and DIY organizing have been happening right here for decades.
Interested in helping us plan?
March 18 is a trial run -- we're going to throw a bunch of stuff against the wall and see what sticks. Want to help us put it all together? Email contact@partsandcrafts.org
