Write and Learn About Your Rights with Mark Nowak!
International Domestic Workers Day is this weekend! To celebrate, Mark Nowak is hosting two pop-up poetry workshops this weekend in New York City.
On Saturday, June 14th from 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM at the Queens Museum (with Nanny Van)!
Join the NannyVan and NYC domestic worker groups in front of the Queens Museum to celebrate International Domestic Workers Day at the Queens Museum with food and family-friendly festivities honoring nannies, housecleaners, and caregivers whose work makes all other work possible. A bright orange mobile design studio + sound lab created by Studio REV- (lead artist: Marisa Jahn) and the National Domestic Workers Alliance, the NannyVan will unpack to reveal colorful roll-out carts chock full of handy resources and activities, and set the stage for the Domestic Worker Talent and Culture Show – with a lineup featuring smart and snappy street theatre, soul-moving (and foot-stomping) song and dance, global fashion, and much more.
On Sunday, June 15th from 11:00 AM – 4:00 PM (Poetry Workshop from 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM) at Writing On It All, Governors Island, NYC
