Mobilize! Creative Blocks, Collective Dreams

verano 2021

 En el verano 2021, Mobilize Creative Collaborative presentó:

¡Movilizar! Cuadras Creativas, Sueños Colectivos

una serie de reuniones comunitarias de una semana de duración, que se llevan a cabo al aire libre en cinco vecindarios en los lados sur y suroeste de Chicago, co-diseñado con un equipo de artistas y organizadores comunitarios que también tienes raíces en estos barrios. Vecines de TODAS EDADES estaban invitades a talleres creativos GRATUITOS, conversaciones críticas y exploraciones centradas en la justicia y sus sueños para sus comunidades. Con actividades participativas de música, arte y teatro, presentaciones en vivo, intercambio de habilidades y más, esperábamos amplificar y conectar los esfuerzos locales existentes, así como cultivar espacios que centren la imaginación, la alegría y las soluciones dirigidas por la gente.
