Workshop: Navigating Climate Anxiety and Grief Through Comics w/ Denali Sai Nalamalapu
Comics can share emotions where words fall short — like the complicated, devastating, and hopeful feelings many people are processing when facing the future of our world. Two cartoonists with new books that grapple with climate grief and anxiety team up to lead this two-hour workshop.
Artists Denali Sai Nalamalapu, author of the new book Holler: A Graphic Memoir of Rural Resistance, and Madeleine Jubilee Saito, author of the new book You Are a Sacred Place: Visual Poems for Living in Climate Crisis, will share examples from their books as well as the work of other artists and guide participants through a reflective and creative comics-making activity.

Workshop: Faith, justice, and art-making
Artists have an essential role to play in our movements for justice and liberation. For artists who are part of a faith tradition, faith can provide deep resources, powerful metaphors, and important public witness.
Join Madeleine Jubilee Saito and Christians for a Free Palestine Washington for a poetry comics reading and workshop about how to make fearless, justice-centered art.
While the workshop will primarily feature Christian examples and be led from a Christian perspective, individuals of all faiths are warmly invited to join.
Cost: Suggested donation of $30 to Sameer Project. Registration fee waived for Palestinian participants.
