Joy not Jails: Art for Abolition

When: Friday, October 25th from 5:30-8:00pm

Where: Barre Labor Hall, 46 Granite St, Barre, VT 05641

Come join the Education Justice Coalition for a special event for Free Her’s week of abolition. At this event we'll be exploring how the arts can move us towards liberation. We will be centering the art, voices, and stories of incarcerated folks. Free Her will be sharing about their campaign to stop the building of a new Women’s Prison. Come and make art together including collage making, banner painting, song writing, poetry, and more. This is a family friendly event as many activities will be appropriate for upper elementary aged youth and beyond. The space is wheelchair accessible. We encourage folks to register here in advance and registration is not required so please come through. 

COVID Precautions: In order to keep this event accessible, this will be a masked event. Masks are optional for young kids.

Food provided from People’s Kitchen.

Supported by Vermont Humanities.
