SUMMARY:Survivor ArtMake: PAIN. REBELLION. PRIDE. A Triptych
DESCRIPTION:LGBTQ+ folx are survivors of all kinds of violence\, trauma and
  abuse. Expression through art is healing and powerful.\n\nThis is an oppo
 rtunity to create a piece that shows your journey. Using collage\, you wil
 l explore and create a triptych (three panels) to represent a way you have
  turned a painful event into a resilient strength that you bring to the pl
 anet.\n\nFREE! RSVP by FRIDAY JUNE 26\, 5pm\, by completing a short survey
  to get the zoom link. \n\nASL? Let us know by Thursday June 25 if you ne
 ed ASL interpretation\, please.\n\nPrepare: Set up the space and time for 
 our virtual gathering where you have plenty of room to go through images t
 o collage together to create and share your triptych (if you choose to sha
 re).\n\nSupplies Needed: Collect (or create) and bring magazines/images th
 at speak to you about your journey: PAIN. REBELLION. PRIDE. (If you don't 
 have magazines\, ask your neighbors\, family\, friends\, local businesses 
 with waiting rooms\, etc. if you can have a few of their old issues. You c
 an also use old calendars and books\, and/or go online and print out some 
 images). Also collect scissors\, glue\, tape\, markers/mark-making impleme
 nts\, and three pieces (or one that you bend into three panels) of stiff p
 aper\, cardboard\, mat board -- you can even re-purpose cereal or cracker 
 boxes for this\, since you'll likely be covering up the images with your o
 wn. Or you can paint a background color on them ahead of time. The size is
  up to you. I'd suggest at least 5x8 inches per panel.\n\nJourney: We'll s
 pend the time in a brief intro to each other\, the subject\, and the proce
 ss\, then we'll artmake for about an hour or so (I'll have background musi
 c piped through my screen share\, but you can also mute us and go with you
 r own)\, and we'll have some time in the end for a Silent Witnessing -- a 
 time for any one who wishes to share their triptych with the others.\n\nVi
 sion: My hope is that we can be present and honor ourselves and each other
  in this space. This will be a transformative experience. Your triptych ca
 n be an altarpiece to cherish if you wish\, something to share with those 
 who love you\, and/or something you burn when you're finished to complete 
 the process. There is no wrong way to do this piece.\n\nHost/Contact: Chri
