iAM Liberation Politics

 

iAM Liberation Politics is a 4-session workshop that will be in person from JAYU at 401 Richmond Street West in studio 380.

We will explore the ongoing genocide and occupation of Palestine, diving into its profound political and social implications. Together, we'll examine how this movement is reshaping the global political landscape and how we can drive real liberation for marginalized communities everywhere through action and education. The course will conclude with a collective effort to create a powerful political zine. After ten long months of reflection, it’s time to turn thought into action.
 

NOTE: The iAM Program prioritizes registration for equity-deserving artists/communities. Equity-deserving is inclusive of Black and racialized folks, people with disabilities, Indigenous (First Nations, Inuit and Métis), 2-Spirit, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans and Queer (2SLGBTQ+), newcomers to Canada and people experiencing homelessness or precarious housing.
