The Center for Social Justice & Civil Liberties in the Riverside Community College District was awarded a generous Creative Corps Inland SoCal Grant to produce The Body of Freedom.
The Body of Freedom is an expansive collaborative project with the Arts Magnet Program at Ramona High School, Division 9 Gallery, and the Inlandia Institute. The project supports local artists to create inclusive, community-based art workshops rooted in social justice and equity. A fourteen (14) 4-week multidisciplinary workshops ranging from dance, yoga, and visual art to creative writing, fashion, and choir was FREE and open to the public, and community-based workshops ran between September 5 - November 14, 2023.
The art created in those Fall workshops will culminate into a community mural at Ramona High School; and a collaborative exhibition titles, The Body of Freedom, will run between February 1 - March 16, 2024, at The Center for Social Justice & Civil Liberties.
This activity is funded in part by the California Arts Council, a state agency.
