Feminism 101 - FREE
Mixed gender, transgenerational (ages 15+), bilingual friendly (Spanish, English)
Last day of Las Marias Project's non-academic introduction to the ideas of feminism workshop and discussion.
Did anyone ever tell you to "act like a lady" or "be a man"? Has anyone ever expected you can't do something simply because of your gender? Or do you think women are often judged by their looks?
We will all learn about feminist thinking, talk about our own experiences and think of ways in which we can advocate for gender justice.
Snacks will be served.

For a 2nd year, Hester Street Collaborative happy to announce that we are partnering with the Loisaida center to offer FREE Screen-printing workshops for immigrant, Asian and Latino communities on the Lower East Side. All skill levels are welcome, ages 16 and up.
The workshop series will reflect the neighborhood tradition of art activism and cultural preservation. Art will be the vehicle that unites members of Asian and Latino immigrant communities to discuss, create and build the artistic capacity necessary for socio-cultural change. Our goal is to create opportunities to develop important artistic skills while sharing across differences that would not otherwise be possible.
Workshops will be focused on current social justice issues - from immigrant rights to climate change to cultural identity. We will work with participants to increase their understanding of the built environment, expose them to art/design careers, develop age-specific art/design skills, and actively improve their neighborhood's quality of life.

FREE Intensive two day workshop for youth ages 15 - 18 with Casa Cruz de la Luna Theater Company. Saturday, April 16 and Sunday April 17: 1:00PM - 5:00PM
Come and explore how bodies in space create theatrical pictures that can be linked in many ways to spoken and projected words. This workshop combines Brazilian director Augusto Boal´s notions of image theatre with "escritura acto" (computerized writing projected live), a practice we have developed at Casa Cruz de la Luna Theatre. Using the texts generated by the participants some of the exercises will take the form of individual poetry presentations or collective performative sketches.
Instruction will be conducted in English but participants can work in whatever language they choose.
