How has seafaring served as a critical technology of liberation for black, indigenous, and communities of color? In this workshop, we will explore the past and present role of seafaring in social justice movements and our personal/political connections to the ocean/oceangoing vessels. We will learn basic knowledge about sailing, boatbuilding, and wayfinding techniques. Participants will walk away with an understanding of how these basics can be useful for navigating systems of oppression.
