Arts & Health Workshop
April 10 at 10:00 am - 2:00 pm
Join us on April 10 from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM at the Esperanza Peace and Justice Center for a special Public Health Week gathering exploring the intersections of art, healing, and justice. The event features a screening of The Quilters, hands-on participatory fiber arts activities, and a community dialogue on transformative and restorative justice frameworks. Together, we will reflect on the impacts of arts in incarceration and imagine more compassionate, health-centered approaches to justice.
