  • Crafting a Flotilla of Art with the Purpose of Creating Social Change

    Creating an Art Float for Social Change

    Tam Makers, a community makerspace in Mill Valley, California, is creating an Art Float for Social Change to inspire more people to participate in democracy. The goal of the parade float is to reach out to youth and people of color through art, music, and technology, and to encourage them to vote in the next election. The community art project is being led by Fabrice Florin and Geo Monley, co-founders of Tam Makers, and a team of students and makers.

    The Art Float for Social Change will present an art show on Earth Day, Memorial Day, and Fourth of July parades in Marin, and throughout California this fall. The float celebrates mother earth with a carousel of waving hands, pulled by a giant feathered serpent. Performers will tell stories of hope on a stage decorated with scenes of a better world. Large signs will invite people to speak up and vote!

    The project is being built in March and April 2018, on Thursday evenings from 4 to 9pm, or Saturday mornings from 10am to 1pm. Volunteers are encouraged to email float@tammakers.org if they would like to participate. Tam Makers is grateful to Tam High School for hosting the project and to all the wonderful volunteers and art, civic, and educational partners for helping create and present the float to the diverse community.

    Overall, the Art Float for Social Change is a creative way to engage the local community in political participation and social activism. By presenting a visually striking and meaningful float, Tam Makers hopes to inspire more people to vote and be involved in the democratic process.
