Join poet Gabriel Cortez for a climate justice performance, featuring writing from his two recent chapbooks, “Ecology” and “How We Gathered,” as well as new work from his one-person in development show: “Between Two Rising Seas.” Afterwards, break out your favorite writing utensil for a fun and highly interactive writing workshop in which we will explore poetry as a tool for advocating for a more just and sustainable world. We will talk about what environmental justice and injustice look like in our surroundings as well as potential solutions, drawing on the long and powerful lineages of resistance rooted in the Bay Area. This workshop is open to participants of all experience levels and all ages from middle-school to seniors. All you need is something to write with and a willingness to listen and share from the heart.
