QTBPOC Solidarity Festival

More info & tickets

We warmly invite you to join us for the QTBPOC Solidarity Festival — a day dedicated to connection, collective care, and building stronger solidarities across our communities.

With this festival, we want to create space for QTBPOC to come together around a shared question: what does solidarity look like in practice? While many of our communities face connected systems of oppression, we often experience our struggles in isolation. This day is an opportunity to meet, exchange experiences, recognise the solidarities that already exist, and imagine how we can continue building them together.

Please note: This event is exclusively for QTBPOC. White partners, friends, and allies are respectfully asked not to attend.

The exact venue address will be shared after you register by filling out the form.

Workshop: Practicing solidarity through an embodied voice

With Raoni Muzho Saleh
Max participants: 20 | Language: English/Dutch

What’s the relationship between our voices and freeing ourselves from the grip of oppressive systems? How can we practice solidarity through a free and embodied expression of our voice?

In this workshop we will be working with these questions through collective experimentation of freeing the voice. In this experiment, the voice’s capacity to affect and be affected is central! We will PLAY with how different expressions of our voice may embolden how we can show up for one another. These somatic exercises are aimed at situating embodied work at the heart of collective anti-colonial struggle.

Workshop: CareFULL

with Kai Hazelwood
Originally created by Crip Crap Community
Max participants: 20 | Language: English

The framework of Disability Justice was created by working class Black, brown and queer disabled folks. It requires cross movement solidarity, it is a practice of including all of ourselves and each other because " we do not live single issue lives" - Audre Lorde. To care for each other, we need disability justice, not as an intellectual framework, but as an embodied practice we live together.

In CareFULL we’ll begin to work towards co-struggling without leaving each other behind. This is an experiential workshop utilizing slow embodied practice and play, silent reflection, and discussion.

Designed for organizers, activists, and artists - created for people - who do not center access and Disability Justice yet, but are ready to experience why it belongs in all movement work and also for those of us whose bodies and minds require Disability Justice every day. No preparation needed, you're ready just as you are. <3
