SUMMARY:Junk Journals: An Adventure in Paper
DESCRIPTION:In this workshop\, you’ll create two projects. We’ll use a blank greeting card to transform into an easy travel journal complete with pockets for all of those traveling treasures. We will also use a single pice of card stock to create a junk journal embellished to your particular tastes.\n \nWe will have a buffet of materials to personalize your creations. Come learn the art of junk journaling!\n \nThis workshop is best for folks over 12\, minors must be accompanied by a ticketed adult. Tickets can be purchased here. \n \nAbout the Instructor: \nSam Beckerman has been crafting since grade school. She spent her allowance on those fabric loops to make potholders and then her grandmother taught her to embroider. In junior high and high school\, she learned to tailor clothes and won ribbons at the County Fair. She retired at 50 and mainly works with paper now\, after voting mosaics off the island. During the early years of retirement\, she collected many blue ribbons at the Nevada State Fair. She’s especially proud of the wedding album (redone) that won a “best of show” award. She tells people it was the big blue one with the metal center – like they give the cows! She regularly taught Junk Journal workshops at Recycled Reads until they closed down for COVID in 2020.

SUMMARY:UWSA May 2022 Unlearning Circle
DESCRIPTION:We hope you will join us for May’s Unlearning Circle where we will explore our role in building accountable communities. Historically\, white folks relied heavily on police for everyday problems. But thanks to leadership and guidance from communities of color\, the tides are turning: every day\, more white people want to know how to abandon reliance on police.\n \nWe now recognize that policing does not solve our problems\, and worse yet\, is truly dangerous to all communities of color\, poor and working class folks\, disabled folks\, queer folks\, and more… We understand that policing is not only harmful today\, but also has clear\, traceable roots to horrific legacies of white supremacist violence: “catching” enslaved people running for freedom; forcing Indigenous peoples out of their lands\, in favor of white settlements; protecting white folks’ wealth.\n \nThese days\, many of us dream of a world without police and beyond policing. We know our communities thrive with more resources\, not more policing.\n \nHow do we envision community safety beyond policing? Black racial and economic justice activist and abolitionist Zach Norris thoughtfully titled his book\, “We keep us safe!” So\, what is our role in creating secure and just communities? How do we link our anti-racist values to our everyday neighborhood behaviors? Join us for our May Unlearning Circle to explore how we\, as white Austinites\, might contribute to safer\, more accountable communities.\n \nAbout our Unlearning Circles – \nUWSA’s first Unlearning Circle in the winter of 2017 was created as a place for white people to do the work of reflection and community self-education. As we continue to gather to critically examine our own participation in cultures of dominance\, we build our capacity to show up as individuals and as a city-wide community network for Black\, Indigenous and people of color-led anti-racist efforts in a positive and accountable way. The Unlearning Circles are an opportunity for white identifying people to explore white supremacy culture and our role and responsibilities in undoing racism. We welcome and recognize the gift of the presence of any People of Color who choose to join us.
