In this participatory workshop, For the Birds (a New York-based feminist collective and distro) will guide a community discussion about internal and external struggles in feminist cultural and social justice organizing, creating feminist spaces, and coalition building. The workshop will discuss commonalities between marginalized and activist groups, such as the ways our efforts coalesce around issues like safer spaces, grassroots modes of organizing, and artistic and political visibility.
This drop-in workshop will allow participants to create their own stop-motion animations and receive a copy to take home with them. Artist Kristina Centore will show you the ropes of stop-motion animation so you can walk away with a new skill. Participants are encouraged to make their own puppets and/or use the provided puppets of radical historical figures to create narratives. See past animations from The Stop Motion Stomp Station at http://stopmotionstompstation.tumblr.com/.
