Visual Agitation!

Every Tuesday from 4:30 to 6:30, starting March 11th at the 123 Community Space in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn.

This free youth-led program will provide a safe space for teens [ages 14-19] to analyze messages we receive from the media, and then to create our own media with the goal of visual agitation and thought provocation. We will use printmaking [screenprinting, stenciling, and linoleum block printing] to explore issues that matter to us, such as policing in schools, gangs, graffiti, youth empowerment, and role models in our communities. Participants will complete at least three finished prints, and will have the opportunity to show their work in an exhibit and celebration at the end of the program. Art supplies and snacks will be provided for each session.
