Joy not Jails: Art for Abolition
Friday, October 25th
5:30-8:00 pm
Barre Labor Hall, 46 Granite St, Barre, VT 05641
Join the Vermont Education Justice Coalition for a special event as part of Free Her's week of abolition. We will be centering the art, voices, and stories of incarcerated folks. We'll also be exploring how the arts can move us towards liberation by making art including banners, block prints and collages as well as writing poetry, songs and creating chants.
Free Her will be sharing about their campaign to stop the building of a new Women's Prison.
Come and make art together including collage making, banner painting, song writing, poetry, and more.
This is a family friendly event as many activities will be appropriate for upper elementary aged youth and beyond. The space is wheelchair accessible.
We encourage folks to register in advance though registration is not required.
