Red Emma’s

This interactive community workshop and book launch will allow attendees to move freely through several “dream stations” that reinforce different ways to improve their neighborhoods. Dream stations include creating terrariums out of upcycled materials, planting vegetable seeds, urban planning using Lego, identifying and providing feedback to city council members, mural creation on canvas, and joining the fight against urban blight. The first fifteen youth in attendance will receive FREE, signed copies of A CITY DREAM.
