Community in Tune



Instructor: Alex Kimball Williams

A free virtual community workshop. Open to adults and teens. To register and reserve a spot, email us at: adastrawritingproject@gmail.com

Art is revolutionary. Communities engaged in art together create bonds & sustainable change. Join us for a workshop centered around the revolutionary aspects of music, particularly music played in groups. We will explore the ways music has shaped social & environmental movements, & learn how music can be a tool for community healing & cross-cultural understandings. The broader principles of TEK will be reviewed, as well as a dissection of the popular perception of Native peoples as extensions of nature. We hope this widens our community's understanding of these issues & provides a fun yet informative way to make music together.
