feed that which dreams us, seed that which frees us
Sat, June 14, 12-8 pm
at The Collapsible Institute; exact location provided upon registration (in-person with simultaneous livestream)

a sliding-scale community clinic for QT2SBIPOC/PGM
feed that which dreams us, seed that which frees us is a personal and collective prayer. A living altar, ritual performance installation, mutual aid market and mobile healing sanctuary weaving our spiritual solidarities as Queer, Trans, Two-Spirit, Black, Indigenous, API, POC/PGM (People of Color/the Global Majority) reclaiming our ancestral practices to show up in solidarity and kinship with one another here in Ohlone territory. Centering artists born & raised in the Bay directly impacted by colonization, housing displacement & gentrification, we ask: what are we creating & building in the midst of systemic collapse that will sustain us beyond it? What is returning?
