Afternoon Session (1:15 PM- 2:30 PM)
Workshop Summary
Lyrical Opposition will showcase a portion of their film Re-entrification that tells the story of 5 different residents displaced from their homes due to the city’s high cost of living. This is to highlight how tiny homes have become a sanctuary where families can have the fundamental human right of a home. We believe the film begins a conversation on issues revolving around the housing crisis as a vehicle to fight Nimbyism. We will speak truth to power through poetry and testimonies from people directly affected by these unjust conditions.
