The Power of Story: Utilizing Art to Shift Narrative and Win
@ Experimental Station, Build Coffee
6100 S Blackstone Ave, Chicago, IL 60637
Opening Friday, March 29th, from 6:30PM - 8:30PM
There is power in our stories. So how do we use story-based strategy and artwork to win campaigns and efforts in our city? How do we challenge and shift dominant narratives without our messaging being co-opted by those in power? How do we utilize those in power to push our issues to the forefront?
Join FTP Artists Collective members Ruby Pinto (Chicago Community Bond Fund), Danbee Kim (Grassroots Collaborative), and Melisa Stephen (No Cop Academy) for a conversation and workshop on utilizing art and storytelling to shift narratives and build power in our communities. Moderated by Monica Trinidad, current artist-in-residence at Build Coffee.
Friday, March 29th from 6:30-8:30pm
@ Build Coffee, located at:
6100 South Blackstone Ave
Chicago, IL 60637
