Gatherings
There is power in coming together for our individual and collective care and as a strategy for community building. By co-creating and designing spaces and how we gather in them, we have the opportunity to reflect together, create collective analysis, develop connections and build solidarity.

The Stories of Girls' Resistance art exhibit is a reflective and immersive exhibit grounded on the power of girls’ resistance. Through visual installations of art and quotes, participants are invited to explore and reflect on what it means to exist and resist as a girl.
