Halloween is lots of fun...except when it’s “dressing up” as someone else’s culture. This is not only racist and hurtful, but it perpetuates dehumanization and misrepresentation. ⁠
⁠
Are you too tired of seeing these costumes and feel like destroying them and what they represent? Come down to Transformative Arts Saturday, 10/30, and do just that! Join us from 1 - 4 pm as we discuss racist costuming, how it affects us, and how we create change as we deconstruct and repurpose these mass produced costumes and create something new and beautiful, as a community. All supplies will be provided, but feel free to bring your own, and/or any costumes you feel like repurposing. Once the artwork is done, it will be displayed on the wall in the space. ⁠
⁠
Our cultures are not costumes, they are beautiful, strong and thriving--as are we! ✊🏽
