The workshop was produced as a part of Alignment Festival: a month-long offering to community, produced by The House of Malico, and was built upon 5 Pillars of Alignment, a manifesto created to produce racial, social & economic equity within Black, Brown & QTIPOC (queer, trans, intersex people of color) communities in the Oakland Bay Area.

Question from the maker:

How do you get into “the flow” within your creative practice?
