On March 1st, from 8:30 am — 12:30 pm Creative Reaction Lab will facilitate a workshop titled, Leaders for Community Action + Equity. This workshop will provide participants with the time and space to learn the key principles and steps in the Equity-Centered Community Design framework and how to apply it to examine the ways they design inclusive and equitable outcomes.

The panelists will address their work in Social Activism, Environmental Design, Design for Good and their connections to the Rural Studio.

The way we protest reflects the way we live. Protest is a powerful and fundamental American value. This includes the right to share your views, passions and beliefs, even in the face of overwhelming odds. More than almost any other form of communication, protest art and design reminds us of an undeniable fact: your voice is powerful.

There will be two buckets, one with adjectives, and one with nouns. On their turn, participants will draw a random slip of paper from each bucket. For example, "smelly" (adj) and "cat" (noun) are selected. Everyone else will then have 2 minutes to quickly draw an interpretation of a "smelly cat" in their sketchbook. The participant who drew the slips from the bucket will then act as a judge and select their favorite drawing for that round. The winner becomes the next judge, and the game continues!
