There are still a few spaces available in our free Mid-Winter Recess Arts Workshop, which will meet Tuesday, February 18-Friday, February 21, from 10am-5pm. In keeping with February’s focus on love and also Black History Month, our workshop theme is “Love Thyself!” and will explore self-love, community love, and love that grows our power. The workshop will include poetry, spoken word, collaborative film-making, a Calligraphy and Sumi-E workshop at the Japan Society, and hands-on STE(A)M projects*. Participants are encouraged to enroll all four days as the poetry and film development process will be cumulative – but some exceptions may be made. The workshop will culminate with an intimate performance of poetry and screening of short films from 4-5pm on Friday, February 21st in our program space, located at 1525 Townsend Avenue between 172nd Street and Mt. Eden Avenue, near the 4 and D trains and the Bx 1, 2 and 11 buses. Lunch will be provided daily.
