THURS., SEPTEMBER 24thย
7-9:30 PM PST
WHAT: A Black & Indigenous open mic communion on mortality, ancestry, and affirming our lives.
WHO: Black & Indigenous attendees/participants only
COST: Free - donations are welcome if, and only if, you have above-average means.
Drawing on some of our own ancestorsโ practices of public and community-held grieving and celebration, we invite you to a virtual open mic communion for Black and Indigenous people.
OPEN COMMUNION IS FOR:
- Witnessing and being witnessed
- Grieving, bereaving, and honoring what weโve lost and love
- Celebrating the full spectrum of our complex and intersectional livesโโfrom grief to unbridled joy and everything in between.
Whatever youโre carrying, however heavy or light, lay it down. Let the community hold it with you.
We Are Tomorrowโs Ancestors (WATA) is an ongoing series of interactive performances, conversations, and open mic sessions that hold space for Black and Indigenous people to commune on mortality, ancestry, and affirming our lives. As always, free for attendees, supported by the WATA Fund, a reparations fund.
