Breaking the Mold: Training in Gender Justice & Intersectionality
SEE EVENT DETAILS
We invite you to cultivate a deeper understanding of LGBTQ topics that include SOGIE (Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity & Expression), intersections of race and gender, unpacking binarism, decolonized gender frameworks, and participating in #QTBlackLivesMatter art activism. This training is open to anyone interested in exploring gender justice through an intersectional lens using art and movement to expand their practice as an arts worker.
This workshop is part of EAP's MADE Incubator partnership with #DignityInProcess >> A pilot for Afro-Indigenous Liberatory Practice, #DignityInProcess is a multidisciplinary platform in response to the Black Lives Matter movement merging art activism, ancestral healing, and intersectional identity evolution within the Afro-Indigenous Diaspora. Bringing together movement, ritual, storytelling, and collective artmaking, #DignityInProcess draws upon the practices that have sourced the resilience of our ancestors for generations. Gathering Wisdom Councils of Mixed Race, African-Native American, and Creole elders, multi-generational conversations lay the foundation for embodied accountability to sustain a movement of Black Liberation. Afro-futures emerge through this series of site-specific performances, arts-based direct actions, and community workshops celebrating the dignity of Black evolution.
About the facilitator >> ChE (pronoun: they/them/their) is a Queer Afro-Indigenous artivist working at the intersections of youth leadership development, cultural equity consulting, and socially engaged artmaking. A reflection of their expansive identity, ChE crosses genre as a multidisciplinary artist, utilizing mediums that include installation, choreography, sound, procession, participatory ritual, storytelling, mixed-media painting, food, and altar-building.
