Activating joy with Holly Bass: Creative practices for authentic community building

Toni Cade Bambara said, “The role of the artist is to make the revolution irresistible.” The same can be said of policy makers and other change agents. In this workshop, we will explore the differences between activism, organizing, and culture shift work. We will explore how to build authentic relationships with those most affected by potential policy changes and those in the best position to bring about legal and social change. We will also explore how creativity and joy can guide our social justice work as individuals and collectives.
