Workshop Overview

Creation As Sustenance & Resistance

A collaboration workshop from Chicago Regional Organizing for Antiracism (CROAR) + Friendship Community Place

The current political climate in the U.S. has many of us feeling despondent, indignant and overwhelmed. It is important that in times like these we prioritize grounding ourselves and cultivating joy; our imagination can be an amazing resource for this. Engaging in collective and creative processes make a way for us to share our experiences, trials and visions; essentially allowing us to be known in ways that wouldn’t otherwise be possible. This gathering will provide opportunities to engage food, hospitality, art and music in ways that will cultivate the hope, fortitude and community that we need to continue to champion the restoration of all creation. We believe this time together will be a powerful medium to sustenance and resistance.

You'll spend the day immersed in one of three tracks — choose the one that calls to you:

• Visual Art-Making as Resistance - Activate & strengthen our imagination for the sake of disruption and creation. (12 spots)

• Soundtrack for our Tiny Revolutions- Cultivating joy and connection through music. (8 Spots)

• The Subversive Table – Cooking, Baking & Hospitality as Creative Resistance (6 spots)

We’ve been listening to the needs and ideas our neighbors and 5150 and in the NWSide Community and we’ve heard that y’all would love a chance to gather around fun activities and events such as Bingo, dancing, karaoke, game, or movie nights. In collaboration with some of you, we’re launching a new programming series: Neighbor Nights!

These events are free to the public and are meant to be a lowkey way to relax, hang out, and get to know your neighbors at 5150 and in our far NWSide neighborhoods! We’re kicking things off with BINGO in May! If you would like to help organize, sponsor or co-host upcoming Neighbor Night, email us at info@fpcchicago and let us know. Thank you for sharing your ideas and collaborating with us at Friendship Community Place!

Grounded in curiosity we will gather monthly for dynamic conversations about how our theology and spirituality can be a lens through which we wrestle with our values and how they inform our day to day lives, ethics, politics and priorities. The location for May is still being determined, so check back soon!
