Roots of Power: A Zine About Art, Culture, and Place
We are each members of communities steeped in a sense of place. And we are each the inheritors of the create cultural practices emerging from the histories of resistance and resilience of that place. Our history, our art, our culture, our place - they are where we organize from, and what we organize for. This is a zine about art, culture, and place. It's also about how we organize for power. All art, poetry, words, and works included in this zine were contributed by youth organizers at FCYO's Fall 2022 Convening.
