Virtual Workshop: Creative Resiliency in a Time of Crisis with Tran Vu

Creative Resiliency in a Time of Crisis with Tran Vu

Amidst the pandemic and on-going systemic racism, artists and creatives with mission-driven practices are severely impacted. A lot of us lost gigs and opportunities that were going to sustain us for months and into the future perhaps. Come join this interactive session for artists, culture bearers and tenders on how to rest, stay resilient, work, collaborate, and manage our practices during such turbulent times. Let’s strategize, share best practices on adaptation, and learn resources on what to do next to maintain forward momentum for ourselves and as a community.

As a seasoned and trained instructor in radical hospitality and organizing, Tran is committed to holding accessible and inclusive spaces. This proposed session will cultivate a creative and innovative digital space, utilizing interactive slides and activities that will promote active listening and participation. In addition, Tran will share in advance to the workshop a tentative agenda, as well as follow up materials and resources for attendees to have as references post-session.

THIS WORKSHOP WILL BE HOSTED ON ZOOM. All program registrations close 1 week prior to the program date, at 5pm. ZOOM links for all classes are sent out the day before the first class date, no later than 5pm.
