Explore history, culture, current social issues, music, dance, and more as you engage students in learning about resistance through art. Note: All languages are welcome in this workshop! Jen and Michaela are Spanish/English bilingual and translanguaging will be used throughout. *Note: This unit deals with political realities and topics. These topics include: US colonialism, the Young Lords organization, anti-Blackness and colorism (and their roots in the enslavement of Africans and white supremacy), and Trans rights/LGBTQ+ rights.
