- Character design! “Tell a story about a time you felt the power of someone taking action to advocate or protect." After learning about Martin Luther King Jr's "Freedom Now" speech at 40th and Lancaster Ave. in 1965, SparQ in School students collaboratively created puppet characters coming out of personal stories of advocacy shared in story circles. Puppets of people in their lives like Queen Justice who is an imaginary fourth grader who turns into a super hero after school and protects her peers from bullying and one of a student’s brother who is seen as a caregiver and protector. #sparqinschools #spiralqThis afternoon we led a workshop with @johnheinznwr at Myers Recreation Center in preparation for this Friday’s Astronomy Night at John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge. Kids shared about themselves, learned about nocturnal animals that live at the refuge and made these awesome masks of bats, foxes, and owls! Join us at Astronomy Night for a beautiful procession with these animals and lanterns we will be making on site. #spiralq #westphilly #masks #oooohcheecheewawa #getnerdyphlFree Create! Before we begin building puppets in our SPARQ in Schools programs we do a free create activity to get students in a Spiral Q state of mind. Reimagining household recyclables to make whatever they want! Only rule is you can’t ask adults for direction- from the fantastic to the costume, to the utilitarian from the realistic to the abstract. Students get familiar with a sampling of their puppet making materials, learn to innovate to make what they dream up, and have fun! After seeing this, don’t you want a cardboard laptop too? #liberationbeyondlimitation #sparqinschools #spiralq #cardboardlaptop #spiralqstateofmind #middleyearsalternative #westphillyOur Spring pilot Justice Workshops are done! Providing space, materials, consultation and expertise to organizers and activists in their art making for protests, rallies, and demonstrations, we are also building community- bringing a diverse range of issues in the same room to work side by side along with Q volunteers new and old. We’re hoping to set up a couple of sessions again this Summer- if you’re interested in getting your advocacy group on the roster, DM us or write to lizago@spiralq.org if you’re interested in volunteering as an artist or just a person with energy to bring into the mix do the same! Provision of these partnerships does not constitute endorsement of said events or causes- Spiral Q’s Justice Works program is intended to build visibility (and community) through art making, aiding folks in their first amendment rights. @phillyrefusefascism #philadelphiansagainstbedbugs @caucusofworkingeducators #neighborsagainstgasplants
