We have invited artists, educators, musicians, filmmakers, activists, designers, and workers of all stripes to converge in Chicago this summer to help us make posters, music, t-shirts and merit badges while we make friends, comrades, and plans. Let’s make camp.
Join us in Bridgeport, the Community of the Future (and beyond), for ten days of camaraderie, fun and resistance to the spread of fascist culture. subVersion Summer Camp will foster collective re-education through public conversations, workshops, classes and happenings. We’ll present a broad range of creative forms of protest, and participants will be able to choose their own solidarity adventure… kickball or tag, puppets or banners, ballots or stink bombs? Schedule is below.
Full schedule available here
THURSDAY, JULY 24TH
Theatre of the Oppressed Workshop – 8:00 – 9:00 PM
Hosted by: Daphne Agosin
@ Co-Prosperity • 3219 S Morgan St
The goal of this workshop is to get to know each other better to develop trust and discover shared goals among colleagues and participants. To build courage together. Courage can come in following up, in patience, in dedication, in healing, in creating… This workshop is meant to reflect on how we confront fears, conflicts and contradictions in a way that can bring us closer instead of apart.
One exciting and special thing about Theater of the Oppressed and devised theater is that everyone is invited fully, not only to follow along, but rather to investigate collective decision-making. We facilitate and not direct; we acknowledge that everyone is a leader in their own endeavors and that is celebrated.
In the equation of oppressed and oppressor, which TO bases its structure in, there is no side we want to be in. No progressive feels content in either spot; we are trying to build systems rid of both entities. But in these workshops people may fall on both ends of those categories, and that is the nature of our organizing times. How much that will affect our work together is another open question to investigate in this workshop.
