If you’ve ever felt like your Instagram activism wasn’t enough, then this no-cover multifaceted event in St. Petersburg is calling you in.
UPDATE: This event has been rescheduled. See new flyer here.
On Sunday, April 11, Green Bench Brewing Co. plays host to a full afternoon of classes, lectures, music and vendors all ready to share knowledge about BIPOC issues in Tampa Bay.
“Progress through Partnership” kicks off with a limited-attendence movement class at 11 a.m. (live streamed to anyone who can’t attend) before making space for Tri-Partisan Canvas founder Jaleesa Blackshear who speaks on a panel that also includes event co-organizer Rissa Wray, Marcus Brooks and Meiko Seymour all speaking in between 1 p.m.-5 p.m..
Muralist and artist Jabari Reed-Diop (aka iBoms) does live art during the afternoon in between sets by live music from DEA & Saint and Queen of Ex, food from Tampa Jamaican caterer JamDish all while local vendors like Tri-Partisan, Promote Anti-Racism St. Pete and WovePrint.co meet attendees in the beer garden.
Face masks and social distancing required when not seated at Green Bench, located at 1133 Baum Ave. N in downtown St. Petersburg. More information is at greenbenchbrewing.com.
