Sunday, June 19 at 5pm you are invited on a journey of making, craft, conversation, and different forms of movement. Sunday’s event will include a street exhibition by female BIPOC artists, live music and dance performances, poetry readings by a currently incarcerated artist, and a conversation around liberation and diaspora.
