These monthly presentations and activities will provide an opportunity to interact directly with activists connected to the #BlackLIVESMatter, #QTPOCLiberation, #BlackandBrownLivesMatter, #ShutDownCastro and #AsiansforBlackLivesMatter and other segments of the movement and community.  The series is facilitated by the Red Poppy Resident Artist Cohort in collaboration with the “Ubuntu: Can Art Save a Community?” documentary and book project.
