Venue

Whether you're a mom, or appreciate a mom in your life, we want to see you at a film screening of No Country for Mothers on October 22 at 6 PM!

Roger Williams Park Conservancy is hosting a screening of this impactful documentary created by @momsfirstus about what motherhood looks like in America today, at the @rwpbotanicalcenter. 

Joining us for the screening and a Q&A panel after the film are representatives from local organizations @collectiveactionri, @rikidscount, and @unitedwayri. This open dialogue and opportunity for resource-sharing is designed to embody the film's premise: that motherhood in America is not a private struggle but a collective one. 

This event is free and open to the public! Learn more and RSVP online (link in bio): https://www.rwpconservancy.org/event/film-screening-of-no-country-for-mothers/
Calling all beginning and aspiring photographers: join us for a fun and informative fall foliage mobile photography workshop, where Roger Williams Park will be your subject! 

Local photographer and RWPC Program Manager José Ramirez (@jram9808) will offer his expertise and instruction before encouraging participants to explore and apply newly learned techniques to capture the beauty of the Park during the fall season! All you need is the camera on your phone.

This workshop is open to ages 10+, and those under 14 must be accompanied by an adult. This limited-capacity event is capped at 15 people, so RSVP to reserve your ticket before they run out (link in bio)!
