Radical Women Presents: Art as Propaganda Workshop Series: Songs of Freedom

Mer Zandifar, Iranian-American art, music, and hypnosis therapist, will lead workshop participants to use their voices to move past self consciousness and into powerful self- and community expression.

We'll discuss how liberating the voice is symbolically and literally related to activism, and how self-consciousness and judgmental attitudes about our voices can be internal manifestations of oppressive forces in the world. Through vocal exercises and learning songs of freedom/liberation/revolution, participants will experience the healing and empowering action of community vocal expression. http://merzandifar.com/

Jim Dias, activist and musician, will be accompanying the circle with guitar and drum.
