Undoing Racism training with PISAB
Through a partnership between Dance Exchange and Dance Metro DC, organizers from The People’s Institute for Survival and Beyond (PISAB) will return to DC to share their signature 2 1/2 day Undoing Racism training. PISAB focuses on understanding what racism is, where it comes from, how it functions, why it persists and how it can be undone. Their workshops utilize a systemic approach that emphasizes learning from history, developing leadership, maintaining accountability to communities, creating networks, undoing internalized racial oppression and understanding the role of organizational gate keeping as a mechanism for perpetuating racism.
