SOCCS 2025

Bring yourself and your willingness to create and be playful. Participants will be invited to create Action Figures that embody power, strength and safety. Making art, especially in community with others, is a powerful means of imagining possibilities, telling our stories, and connecting in supportive ways. You don’t have to be an artist or a survivor to participate in this workshop; all are welcome. Materials will be provided for you to make Survivor Action Figures who protect and inspire! See the original Incest Survivor Action Figures to learn about them, read about their powers and stories, and be inspired to create your own.
Added: feel free to bring your own materials IF you want to, but don't feel like you have to because I've got lots for us to play with!

In this interactive workshop, students will sculpt sexual anatomy out of playdoh. Students will first review the anatomy of female, male, and intersex bodies, then have time to creatively sculpt body parts. This workshop is body-positive, LGBTQ+-inclusive, education, and fun!
