We Take Care of Us - DIY Basics
This workshop series gives working artists a platform to teach practical skills about how to build, repair, and maintain everyday things. Each of these skills help ordinary people regain control over cycles of consumption to tip the balance of power back into the hands of our communities.
Bleeding Control
The number one preventable cause of death after trauma is life-threatening bleeding. This hands-on workshop covers the life-saving basics of external bleeding control, including proper tourniquet use, with additional discussion of thoracic trauma, chest seals, and considerations for gunshot wounds.
