Our 19 members of Color Squad present Care and Keeping of the Mind, a collection of healing practices from our teens and the wider community in Austin. The theme for our work this year is Mental Health, a topic that has had heightened awareness throughout the pandemic. Our teens wanted to share various ways that folks can heal, in addition to sharing local resources in Austin that provide free to low-cost services for healing. We take away a few of these strategies for yourself.
Color Squad is a collective of teen artists who work together to design and implement public and community art. Each year, we explore a theme that is important to our community, research that theme through a series of workshops and interactions, and then create art that reflects that theme. Color Squad is a program of Creative Action.
