Button Workshop: "Wearing Our Agency on Our Sleeves"
3PM-5PM, October 3, Wednesday
Woman's Building, San Francisco 3543 18th St # 8, San Francisco, CA

Historically, buttons have been wore as fashion and as political statements, from flower button designs to statements. During the Vietnam War, political buttons were worn to contest the war ("End The War In Vietnam!" or "Bring the Troops Home Now!" or "March Against the War: Women's Contingent"). In this workshop, we will engage with the question: If you could make a statement with your button on your sleeve, what would it say about modern day slavery?

"Impressions of Slavery: Screen Printing Workshops"
3PM-5PM, October 2 and 9, Tuesday
MCCLA 2868 Mission St, San Francisco, San Francisco, California 94110, United States
If you could design a t-shirt that spoke out against human slavery, how would the images in mainstream piece together -- what sort of impression would you want to make?

"In & Out of Focus: Photography as a Way of Reflecting"
3PM-5PM, October 18 & 25, Thursday (Also, Oct. 23rd & 25th at Ida B.Wells High School)
Location: Moving workshop that begins at 573 Barrows, UC Berkeley

The workshop, “In and Out of Focus: Photography as a Way of Reflecting,” aims to empower participants by teaching them photography skills and ways of seeing as a basis to critically reflect on their lives and their communities. During this two-session workshop, students will be introduced to the history of photography as an art form and taught the basic techniques of picture-taking. They will use the camera to photograph their everyday surroundings, and during workshop, we will discuss the content and form of their pictures. These workshops will emphasize the importance of group trust and participation by including discussion groups, group photographing, constructive critiques, and a field trip. All students may choose to include their photographs in the “Out of TimeSpace” symposium and multimedia art exhibit sponsored by UC Berkeley and the San Francisco Art Institute.
