MAURITANIAN HENNA WORKSHOP
Traditional Mauritanian henna uses a tape-resist technique, where you cut and place thin strips of surgical tape to form geometric designs. The henna design/pattern is made from the negative space (the gaps between where the tape is placed). For this workshop, we will explore these geometric patterns and create our own versions on watercolor paper.
📆 Saturday, October 17th, 2026 from 2-4 PM

BLUE NOTE: SOLIDARITY THROUGH LYRIC POETRY
In this poetry workshop, we will learn more about the deep and interconnected relationship between Black American poets and poets across the SWANA region. From the global influences of blues and jazz poets, to Palestinian and Sudanese poetic influences on Black American cultural figures, we will riff on both historic and contemporary instances of solidarity across communities. We’ll also improvise our own expressions of solidarity on and off the page. Come prepared to write and experiment with sound.
