How do we sustain art practices under repression? How do we bring the power of our lineages – across gender and culture – into our work? What can we learn from those who came before us?
This workshop will draw on creative forerunners ranging from James Baldwin to Leslie Feinbeg; ANOHNI to Aunty Crystal Love. Terakes will guide participants to consider the places we can draw both life force and art force from, and all the possible futures we can dream into.
In this workshop, you will explore:
- Marginalised storytelling as archive
- Returning to suppressed histories and spiritual ancestry
- Refusing erasure: looking backwards to move forwards
- Art as witness – not escape
Workshop participants will be asked to bring an ancestral source of power – an object, plant, ritual, myth, a story of your grandmother, your community, your swimming place or nature place. Working collaboratively, you will share stories, create a shared timeline and undertake a writing exercise.
Suitable for creatives of all experience levels and forms who are interested in making art for our communities, for each other, and for the world we want to inhabit.
