💫 together we rise: poetry & art of resistance for QTDBIPoC ancestors in times of joy & grief WHERE: Beacon Hill Friends House, 6 Chestnut St, Boston, MA 02108 WHEN: April 26, 2-4pm RSVP: bit.ly/april25mm 💫 This poetry month and Dalit History Month, join us for a special workshop from Prema Bangera! We will use poetry and art to honor our own personal ancestors and the ancestors of our revolutionary work. We will collectively learn about how anti-caste discrimination work is related to the work we already do and our anti-displacement framework. We will also think through the works or words of June Jordan, Audre Lorde, Ocatavia Butler, Bhim Rao Ambedkar, Phoolan Devi, Yuri Kochiyama, James Baldwin, and more when creating our own art. Prema Bangera (she/they) is a queer neurodivergent immigrant of color, multidisciplinary artist and founder and director of BIPoC Ancestral Arts as Love (BALA). (You can find the link to Prema's art exhibition opening RSVP in the link in bio.) (Prema's headshot by Mel Taing!) (fb)
