From banner-making to flash choruses to poetry anthologies, art was at the heart of our community-building and resistance.
About this Event

Join us for a conversation with key artist-activists including David Acosta, Spiral Q, and Son Revoltura, as they reflect and share insights from No Arena organizing. After hearing from the artists, we'll break out into art-making groups to create signs, learn movement songs, and share stories.
