Youth are truly powerful! Y'all are absorbing the challenges of our current world just as much as adults are, most likely even more. We would like to invite you to join us in weaving hope into our lives and dreaming our futures in a bigger better world, memorabilia style.

Memorabilia can be objects we create that remind us of our inspirations, hopes, and dreams! For this event we will use button making and collage art to create reminders of how powerful we can be once we begin to dream. This event is geared towards 9 years of age and up, based on the discussion topics, self managing a button maker and, cutting materials. All button making supplies will be provide with magazines and paper to cut for our collages! Feel free to bring any of your own supplies too. All around table discussion is encouraged but not mandatory. Feel free to invite your friends!

From the organizer Simitri: "I live by the phrase "Dream the Impossible", and you can too! I dream of magical bridges and tunnels that live in the sky, untethered from nations and leaders, that take us all over the world to eat sweet treats with our loved ones.I dream of libraries filled with holographic storytelling from our ancestors of books and stories lost in time by bans, genocides, and forcibly erased languages. Or what about forever free fashion shows that turn into clothing swaps from all the clothes in the world that would otherwise live in a landfills? What do you dream of when you allow yourself to embrace the impossible? We know that what we desire and dream for ourselves and our communities are remarkable and worthy of being memorialized."

While we dream what is in our grasps, it also important that we keep ourselves and each other safe in the present so that we can reach our futures. During this COVID surge we highly recommend testing before coming in. We have free tests and free kid and adult masks.

The organizer of this event marked it kid-friendly. 😛
