How can the lives of our activist predecessors nourish our own work for social change? In this creative session we will explore social justice leaders from the Jewish Women’s Archive, by discussing excerpts from their speeches, writing and initiatives. Studio time will include experimenting with creative materials to connect more deeply with the themes from their lives and work – NO art experience required! All materials will be provided. (Attendance at the Creative Studio on February 21 is suggested but not required to participate.)
