Art as Community: Create a textile-based craft and learn about yarn bombing, featured in the Inspiring Change gallery.
Art as Memory: Explore picture books and graphic novels to understand how art can preserve human rights stories, like the fire bag in Indigenous Perspectives.
Art as Action: Make buttons about human rights issues you care about, connecting to the Beyond the Beat: Music of Resistance and Change exhibition.
