Slave Rebellion Reenactment (SRR) is a community-based performance that will restage and reinterpret the largest armed rebellion of enslaved people in North American history which took place upriver from New Orleans in 1811. The SRR performance will happen on November 9-10, 2019, along River Road and Congo Square.

SRR is hosting a series of sewing circles and costume workshops as a way to spark conversation and community engagement around this historic commemoration. This free workshop hosted by Antenna and ricRack Inc. will focus on hand-sewing and repurposing thrifted clothing to make costumes for the reenactment. The workshop is open to all skill levels and all materials will be provided — just bring yourself.

Please RSVP as seating is limited and workshops fill up fast. For further info contact Raven Crane, Slave Rebellion Reenactment Project Coordinator, at raven@antenna.works or call Antenna Gallery at (504) 298-3161. You can learn more by visiting slave-revolt.com.
