Event participants will then receive a short instructional lecture on the traditional plants, materials, and techniques we will be using.

Participants will also have the opportunity to take a small item home.

Wellness Wednesday: WE FLY OUR WORDS HIGH with Jessica Angima
WE FLY OUR WORDS HIGH: LIBERATION
Meditation + Poetry + Writing with Jessica Angima
This Juneteenth, join artist and organizer Jessica Angima for a workshop exploring breath, language and what it means to be liberated.
On June 19, 1865, the enslaved people of of Galveston, TX, received news of the Emancipation Proclamation, the execute decree declaring enslaved people in Confederate States were legally free. While these words “officially” set Black folx in America free, we know that the struggle for Black humanity continues to present day. This legacy reverbrates globally, linking the ongoing struggle for Black liberation to marginalized people across borders.
Our words catch wind and carry across borders. During this workshop, we’ll explore language. Through meditation, poetry and generative writing, we’ll dissect what words, what they can and cannot do and how to activate words so that our actions match the language of liberation that our lips speak.
Participants of this workshop will read and reflect on texts by Black, African and diasporic revolutionaries like bell hooks, June Jordan and Aimé Césaire. We’ll breath together, reflect on liberation, and write and engage in a kite-making activity. Each participant will go home with a personalized kite to continuue to fly their words beyond the workshop
Join us in activating our words to set ourselves free.
