Preparing with Knowledge

Hello again!

   We are (roughly) 3 weeks away from our Detroit ABST trip and our group is itching to begin the journey! In preparation for this trip, our group has been having Pre-trip meetings to discuss Food justice, Food security, Gentrification, Detroit History, Faith, and Art!
    Recently, our group visited the Erie Art Museum's "Second Sunday" program to better understand the Art we have here in Erie. This way, we can compare what we saw in Erie to what we will see in Detroit.
    We had a great time and not only had the opportunity to view some beautiful art, but also make some of our own! The "Second Sunday" program had a snowflake-making station and we made paper snowflakes that represented who we are and our uniqueness.
   
 As famous author Wade Rouse puts it, "Be As Unique As A Snowflake: Embrace All Your Dimensions”
... and we certainly are:)

Until next time,

ABST Co-Leader Rachel
