Rag Doll Project: ONE WEEK TO GO until First Friday, September 2 at 5:30
This is a reminder. Keep working on your dolls because we have only a week left! Thank you so much to all who attended our doll making workshops at Moore and PAFA!
As part of our ongoing project to promote public awareness of human trafficking, the Philadelphia Women's Caucus for Art will create a pile of handmade rag dolls to symbolize the numbers impacted by trafficking. The pile of dolls will be presented along with educational information at public performance protests through 2012.
The WCA will launch their efforts on September 2 at the Philadelphia Fringe Festival where we will assemble the pile of rag dolls, silently hand out stickers and information, and provide a petition for the public to sign to show their support of the lives affected by modern slavery. The performance will begin at 5:30 at 2nd and Market Streets. Please bring your dolls to the performance. If you can not attend please email phila_wca@yahoo.com to arrange drop off.
