Inspired by abolitionist* “work bags,” historic texts, and modern protest art, this workshop invites participants to design their own activist tote bags. Using recycled materials, collage, and embroidery, they’ll express causes they care about today. An optional activity encourages creating matching protest leaflets or badges to share their message. *activists campaigning to end slavery and liberate enslaved individuals.
