About the Art as Propaganda Workshop:

Radical Women hosts a revolutionary workshop series that explores the interconnections between art and activism. Each month we’ll learn a different skill and history of a radical movement, then create art for a specific community action. Newbie and experienced artists and activists all welcome. Let’s get together and make art to push the revolution, and celebrate the beauty we can create outside of the capitalist gallery system!
