YOUNG COMPANY: PROTESTERS
|
WANT TO CHANGE YOUR SCHOOL? YOUR CITY? YOUR FUTURE? THE WORLD? JOIN PROTESTERS!
Maybe you’re passionate about the environment. Maybe you want to change the price of Metro tickets. Or you don’t agree with the uniform rules in your school. You might not know what you want to change yet. Protesters will help you find out. Protesters meet every week, working with different artists to learn about different kinds of protest, from graffiti to poetry, to music, to marching with placards. Over the next few months, you will create your own protest projects as a way of making change in the world. |
