Description
Lanesboro Arts presents “Disrupting the Binding: Building Anti-Racist Culture,” a series of free community workshops led by artists Ben Weaver with Carolyn Holbrook, Jothsna Harris, and Walken Schweigert. This three-part series will take place on September 9th, October 8th, and November 5th at the St. Mane Theatre.
This workshop invites community members into an emergent and circular space to contextualize and better understand the systemic and pervasive nature of racism and bias. This year will differ from previous years’ iterations by focusing on a community visioning process that will ask: “How can we all work together to create structure to do this work in the community?” Our facilitators will work with participants using poetry, music, and storytelling to explore the necessary healing that precedes our ability to truly imagine and create a new culture that does not perpetuate the existing structural harms. In each workshop, participants will receive writing prompts, and will be invited to share the resulting writing/poems at the final Capstone. The Capstone will also feature music from Ben Weaver and Walken Schweigert and a reading from Carolyn Holbrook.
Workshop 1: Saturday, September 9th, 10 am – 1 pm Led by Ben Weaver and Carolyn Holbrook
Workshop 2: Sunday, October 8th, 1 – 4 pm Led by Ben Weaver, Jothsna Harris
Workshop 3: Sunday, November 5th, 1 – 4 pm Led by Ben Weaver, Walken Schweigert
Capstone: Sunday, November 5th, 7 pm Performance with Ben Weaver, Carolyn Holbrook, and Walken Schweigert
This work is lifelong and ongoing, thus we invite both new and past participants to join us. We also ask if you are considering joining us that you attend all four of the workshops. Disrupting the Binding is capped at 15 participants. Registration is free, but required to participate.
