Big Feelings / / Small Stories

Mondays, 1 pm

MHC, Boardroom B

Starting April 3

Feelings can be beautiful but sometimes a little overwhelming. Taking the time to explore how we feel and describing it can help us be more aware next time we feel that emotion.

During this 5-week workshop, you will create your own self-produced zine exploring the depths of a single emotion. Zines are small magazines where you can share your drawings, poetry, photography, or a story. There are no rules to what a zine must look like! This makes it the perfect space for all creatives looking to share their art and/or writings. 

There is a max participation of 10 individuals in this group. If you have a client interested in attending please reach out to Chelsea Kirksey to signup as soon as possible.

Team Discussions are created by the T.I.D.E Team to help start shared conversations across the agency. Consider using this video and the questions below at your next team meeting. 

Questions for Team Discussions:

Do you feel that your rights or economic well-being are threatened by others gaining the same advantages you enjoy?

Do you wish you had the same rights or economic advantages as others?

Have you experienced discrimination because of zero-sum thinking/attitudes?

What are some ways of framing dialogue on equal rights and economic opportunity in terms that counter the zero-sum mentality?
