The second session of the day for The Forum of Community Understanding, will consist of two breakout sessions, where you can choose to “Share Your Playlist” or tell a “Personal Story - Zine Making”.
“Share Your Playlist”
What 3-song playlist would you share with someone, if you really wanted them to understand you? Music has the power to cut right to the heart of how we feel and to say the words we can’t conjure. In this workshop, local musician Asha (Ah-Shah) will moderate a live playlist exchange between Matthew Scinto, Music Director of the Cape Cod Chamber Orchestra, and Rafael Caires , local/Brazilian soul singer, guitarist, and songwriter. Then, attendees will be invited to pair up and do the same! Come learn about your neighbor, hear some great tunes, and see the ways that the Universal Language unites us all.
“Zine Workshop”
What formed you? This question can be answered in many ways: with a funny slapstick story, a poignant tale of first love, a tender moment of loss. The events of our past form us and inform the ways that we move through the world. In this workshop, illustrator Kai Barrows of Kai 🐝 and Raja Sinjab of REALcommunity , LMHC/AT-R/PhD will lead participants through the process of creating a zine- a small, self-created mini magazine considering the question, “What formed you?” Through writing, collage, drawing, found images, symbols, and words, participants will have an opportunity to tell a story in a way that feels authentic, creative, and self-directed. This session will include quiet work time and an optional zine exchange!
We will see September 10! Doors open at 8:30am and tickets are available now on our website.
