An evening of hope and solidarity through words of collective resistance. This event is open to all.
We are living in strange, interesting, and dangerous times, for many reasons. The ever-present and heightened risk of damage - to minds, bodies, spirits and our social and cultural fabric appears and sometimes magically disappears, as if society's huge social and political turmoil had no history. Within this the lives, stories and solidarities formed out of the experience of racial, gendered, economic, historical and political injustice, can appear as simply a footnote to apparently bigger issues.
This event brings together voices, sounds, images, and stories that when placed together reveal an example of powerful solidarities of collective resistance. Resistance emerges from experience, and experience tells the stories that can often be overlooked. Poetry, prose, discussion - this evening aims to simply create a container for solidarities, expressed by and with voices that speak to experiences, visions, aspirations and demands for a better world. Join us.
