Art for Ourselves Gatherings are an effort towards bridging the gap between online community and IRL community action. Here we have provided downloadable Gathering discussion topics and questions. We offer a structure, but encourage you to follow whatever unfolds, as the nature and direction of the Gathering will always be determined by those present.

Grab some art supplies, a journal, and a writing utensil and get together with at least one other person, in real life, for a conversation based on a provided topic of your choice.

 We hope these Gatherings will lead to an increased understanding of complex and often difficult topics through authentic conversation, increase solidarity in our communities and create a basis for future organizing.

Post a photo of your Gathering on Instagram with the hashtag #AFOGathering. We encourage participants to create an artifact of their gatherings; notes, drawings, video, audio, anything! Artifacts can be made individually, collectively, or both. These artifacts (or photos of) can be sent to artforourselves@gmail.com to be archived and published (with your permission) in our publication.
