12-5pm
Sisters’ Camelot – 2310 Snelling Ave., Minneapolis MN 55404
(between Coastal Seafoods and the LRT trail)

Join the Beehive Design Collective, Root Force, and local artists and activists in a day of discussion and workshops designed to develop and utilize our talents for creating a better world.

With panelists from various backgrounds including both visual and performance art, and workshop topics from direct action skills to bannermaking to street theater, we seek to connect artists with relevant political struggles and help activists and organizers engage their issues in creative ways.

Mayday in the Twin Cities will be a perfect opportunity to exercise our new skills–either in the Powderhorn Park parade and festival, the International Workers’ Day immigrant rights march in St. Paul, or other events–and build movements that are creative, effective, and inspiring.

Schedule of Events:
Noon-2: Panel discussion: Art that takes action
2-4:30: Workshops include:

• Stencil, banner and sign making
• Direct action/creative blockading (with Root Force)
• Street Theater (with a member of the Unseen Ghost Brigade)

4:30-5: Closing Presentation

Sponsored by the MARS Collective – http://marscollective.org
