Workshop details

Gather with us to dive deeper into what has inspired the piece Several attempts at braiding my way home. Together we will reflect on hair, shapeshifting and dorsal practices through  reading Alexis Pauline Gumbs’ book Undrowned: Black Feminist Lessons from Marine Mammals. We will also write and meditate together on grounding practices and the sensorial abilities of our hair. The workshop will end with a meal together.
