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. More recently, crafts are being recognized not only as fine art but also as a subversive and effective form of activism. Join a group of crafty women for a hands on session at The Women's Centre as we learn how to weave a more feminist future!
