On Friday, three of us met in Oakland to resume the ideas that we started to develop during the FRESH Festival. I facilitated a movement and writing workshop focused on the kidney.

We explored movement initiation from the kidney. Then, we used this movement to investigate the images and mapping that arises when we focus on the kidney.

During the workshop, we drove to the East Side Arts Alliance in east Okaland to participate in a community screening of films that explain the rights that people can exercise when they interact with immigration and customs agents.

The participants took a community field trip to the East Side Arts Alliance for a film screening of "Know Your Rights."

We will resume these workshops in March during a day-long retreat at the Djerassi Artist Ranch.
