Limited Capacity full
Youth around the world are taking the lead in demanding change in solidarity with the most vulnerable communities. They are engaged in what King wrote of as "nonviolent direct action [that] seeks to create such a crisis and establish such creative tension that a community that has consistently refused to negotiate is forced to confront the issue" (1963, Letter from a Birmingham Jail). In this interactive workshop, we will explore the global activism of Black and Indigenous youth who engage in arts-based direct action through an intersectional lens that confronts issues such as climate justice, sovereignty, and equitable redistribution of resources. Participants will discuss strategies, tactics, principles and goals in social movements and move into an interactive devising exercise wherein students will create their own dramatic scenes depicting their visions for a more just future.
