All participants will be asked to wear masks and distance. \nThis Banner Build Workshops For The Movement is inspired by the long tradition of art builds and banner making workshops.

If you don’t know about these important projects please check them out. \nActivists and organizers in need of a banner are invited to request banners and share messaging by emails Aaron Hughes aarhughes@gmail.com \nThis project is part of a PO Box artist’s residency by Aaron Hughes.
