Join us for a day of organizer-led workshops dedicated to emerging frameworks and tools for consciousness-raising work!
Adventures in Radical Theory and Practice is a three day popular education workshop geared towards building a vibrant movement for social justice. Drawing from the experiences of the ground work from Cairo to Los Angeles as well as the theory experiments of Stuart Hall, this weekend will deepen the toolbox of cultural workers, activists and organizers from across the country.
