Racism and racial violence are becoming more publicized in recent months. If you'd like to learn more about anti-racism in Calgary, what others are working on and how you can get involved, join us for this living library workshop. Women will act as "books" that you can talk to about their work. Hosts will share their stories of anti-racism work in Calgary, shed light on the ways in which racism is present day-to-day, and how women can work together to combat it. This event is open to all women-identified people.
Historically, craft has been viewed as a feminine practice with limited influence outside the domestic sphere.
