🌱 Re-rooting and Becoming Roots: Conjuring Vietnamese Queer Magic ✨
💫 Evening of poetry, performance, and film with queer Vietnamese artists 🧚♂️
✊ Supported by
@damn_berlin ,
@faq_infoladen & Cơm Together
🌬 To be queer and Vietnamese is to simply exist freely, resisting systems of oppression. Dominant narratives seek to erase our magic, but we as queer, Vietnamese, our daily acts of re-rooting and becoming roots are decolonial at the core, and for us to nurture our connection to shared history, culture, and language is to dream of collective liberation.
🪷 Vietnamese finger food by
@bada.blue available for purchase. Participants may bring their own food. After a shared aperitivo, we will have poetry performances, embodied poetry, a short film screening, a sound meditation session, and a community reflection.
🌙 The celestial gathering is for queer Vietnamese people as well as racialized allies.
