The creation of art itself is a form of feminist resistance. This workshop will highlight examples of historic and modern persuasive feminist art installations and contemplate how participants can curate their own artistic communities in their cities to enact change.

Art allows us to tap into alternative storytelling in its unique ability to raise awareness, advocate for change and communicate through mediums that transcend words alone.

This workshop will explore how art can be utilized as a tool of resistance, from individual artistic disciplines, to community projects and shared spaces. Participants will discuss how to incorporate artistic practices both into their everyday routines and within their communities, carving out time for space, inspiration, reflection, meditation, and artistic visions of what could be.

This workshop will also invite attendees to consider their home communities. Where do these rejuvenating and inspiring spaces already exist? Where have they in the past? And where might they, in the future? What possibilities do these spaces--whether liminal, lost, or becoming--hold for feminist and artistic community-making?

Whether establishing individual artistic meditative practices, designing resistance and dissension symbology, or organizing marches, this workshop highlights the persuasive power that thoughtful design and artistic narratives can lend to our feminist resistance.
