Summer 2002: Make Art to Make Change. Over the summer Free Zone 2002 had an amazing summer of fun, skill sharing, creative expression, and powerful activism. Free Zone 2002 was a collaborative program of GSA Network, LYRIC, and Mission Grafica. The summer included training in graphic design and screen printing as well as political education workshops. The program culminated in the creation of a series of political posters, "Liberation Ink," expressing the hopes and issues important to the group. In addition to being shown in community venues, the posters will be used in schools by Gay-Straight Alliance clubs and teachers to fight homophobia and other oppressions. Thanks to Think Again for letting us use their great "Queer Youth Manifesto" piece for our outreach. |

Free Zone is an arts for social change collaborative project of the Gay-Straight Alliance Network and LYRIC (Lavender Youth Recreation and Information Center). Through arts training and education about social issues, Free Zone inspires LGBTQQ and straight ally youth to use art as a means of self-expression, activism, learning, and community-building. The artistic product created through Free Zone is used as an organizing and curriculum tool to fight homophobia and injustice in schools. GSAs build youth leadership capacity as they host the Free Zone product and educate their peers about homophobia and other injustices. Check out the fresh photo exhibit, powerful video and awesome posters that we created in 2000, 2001, and 2002. |
