Hosted by the Teen Arts Council, in this workshop with Bayan the Poet(opens in new window), participants will discuss and compare works by Jamila Woods (GIOVANNI), Nikki Giovanni (Ego Tripping), and Mickalene Thomas (Something You Can Feel). We will observe and analyze how these three artists use powerful imagery and symbolism in their works to portray themselves as Black womxn in uplifting ways.

Participants will then create their own body of work that reflects their self-image in an empowering, bold manner. This workshop will guide youth to reflect on their mental health and self-image during a time of crisis and isolation and leave with a reminder of how great they are regardless of circumstances they cannot control.
