Workshop
with Hirwa Carter Honoree Wolf & Noah Safranek
What makes us who we are in a world that constantly tells us we should not exist? Surviving, living, thriving and making ourselves immortals by telling our own history:stories in a Cistem that is purely anti-trans and racist rooted. We will be loud about what’s important to us, the people we care about and our community. An empowering conversation through storytelling, a safe space to share our experiences, our struggles as individuals and activists. Sharing our best practices: how do we take good care of ourselves and each other? Most importantly celebrate ourselves and a discussion on the intersections of activism, art, race, gender, sexuality and asylum seeking from an anti-colonial perspective.
A workshop for trans, nonbinary and intersex people. We especially encourage BLACK, PoC and refugees to participate.
Workshop will be held in English. In order to participate please register by sending an email to education@queermuseumvienna.com with your name and phone number.
