Session Description: 

Presenters: Marla Teyolia, Empowered Mama; Lucy Marrero, To Tell You the Truth; tk (tanya karakashian), We Got Issues!.

As women of color, queers, and mamas, we anchor our work in our lived identities and experiences, honoring the sacred circles within our lives that facilitate intimacy, healing, liberation, and creativity. This workshop has two components: building community/ies and creating media that tells our stories. We’ll explore possibilities for fortifying our families through subversive media practices, and we'll investigate possibilities for using online and 3D media for creating local and national sacred spaces. To this effect, we are inviting you to “set" sacred tables with us. Together, we'll create an art installation project by using tables and collage materials. We invite you to bring materials that embody your transformative and liberatory movement to "set the table" with: pictures, ideas, values, mementos, tea cups, and dreams... anything you can think of! In addition, participants are invited to record their stories/truths as mamas/caregivers. This video project may be shared online.
