Kate will be hosting an Anti-Oppression workshop live on zoom, Wednesday June 3rd. Register below to receive the workshop link on the 3rd.

“This workshop is designed to start and spark conversations and self reflection around ways we contribute and are a part of colonial, capitalist, racist and oppressive systems.

We are hoping to cultivate a space for learning and re-examining and prying open the why. Looking at where we all fall in our social location.

And collectively looking at the “how”. Within the context of society at large and artistic spaces.

How can we examine these systems, pull apart and dream of more for all of us? What does that look like?”
