Teen Craftivism Workshop
July 22nd, 1PM-3PM
Express yourself at the Dyckman Farmhouse! Learn about how activists have used arts and crafts to further their work, and make some activist crafts yourself. Crafts, such as embroidery, have historically been outlets of self-expression for people to record their stories and opinions (as seen in our current exhibition at the Dyckman Farmhouse Museum!).
Join us to learn how to craft a message with your hands. Embroider iron-on patches to carry your message on your sleeve, and create and write your own zines to spread the word.

¡Exprésate en el Museo Dyckman Farmhouse! Conoce cómo los activistas han utilizado las artes y las artesanías para promover su trabajo y tú mismo has una artesanía.

Únete para aprender cómo elaborar un mensaje con tus manos. Borda parches termoadhesivos para llevar tu mensaje en la manga y crea y escribe tus propios fanzines para correr la voz.

BOOK LIST (A TASTE):
From the first ever poet-in-residence at Lincoln Center comes a bold coming-of-age story told in verse about a young woman who loses a best friend, but finds herself in the process. The joys of basketball, the tumult of high school, and the bonds of family are lyrically woven together in this must-read novel.
Yolanda Alvarez is having a good year. She’s starting to feel at home Julia De Burgos High, her school in the Bronx. She has her best friend Victory, and maybe something with José, a senior boy she’s getting to know. She’s confident her initiation into her family’s bruja tradition will happen soon.
But then a white boy, the son of a politician, appears at Julia De Burgos High, and his vibes are off. And Yolanda’s initiation begins with a series of troubling visions of the violence this boy threatens. How can Yolanda protect her community, in a world that doesn’t listen? Only with the wisdom and love of her family, friends, and community – and the Brujas Diosas, her ancestors and guides.
In this gorgeous debut graphic novel, fairy tales are the only way one boy can communicate with his Vietnamese immigrant parents. But how will he find the words to tell them that he’s gay? A powerful read about family, identity and the enduring magic of stories.
Facilitated by Carisa Musialik & Marilyn Ramirez, local teachers and writers, who have worked with Lo’Mas Lit before.
