Activist Love Letters is a participatory workshop that encourages the audience to get involved in sustaining a movement and supporting their communities. Inspired by the powerful and often hidden letters that activists and organizers have sent to each other- words of support and encouragement, words of rage and fear, cautions and inspirations alike- this project makes space to consider our own activism and that of the people we hold dear.
If you could reach out to one person who moves you by what they do, who would it be? What would you say?
Activist(s)!
Love!
Letters!
Bring your passion, feel the love and get inspired to write to someone working to make the world a place you want to live in; and/or a community that you want to be part of!
This project was first performed at the Feminist Art Gallery in Toronto as part of Cinenova: An Audience of Enablers Cannot Fail (An initiative of the Feminist Art Gallery, The Power Plant and the Art Gallery of York University, in conjunction with their retrospective exhibition Will Munro: History, Glamour, Magic, running 11 January – 11 March, 2012.) It has since been performed countless times.
