Sick in Quarters (SiQ) cordially invites you to PENUMBRA, an online fundraiser in benefit of thái Lu, hosted by Gray (SiQ)
@chronicbane & featuring readings and performances by SiQ and friends. With a relentless spirit of solidarity, we ask, what life could spring forth if we commit to loving each other in shadows and uncertainty? What is fully eclipsed when we fail to do so?
Join us on Zoom for an afternoon of readings and music. Suggested donation on a scale of $5-15, please exceed the scale if you are able. Please note that this is a fundraiser event, and a donation is required to attend.
TO RSVP: link in bio! head to bit.ly/pen0425 to RSVP via our Airtable form, which will require a donation directly to thái’s website. We encourage donations to thái regardless of event attendance. Stay tuned for future SiQ events free of cost 💛[yellow heart]
Sick in Quarters (SiQ) is a transnational network of disabled and chronically ill artists and organizers working in spirited connection and collaboration toward disabled liberation.
thái Lu is a transdisciplinary artist, writer, and community organizer centering their practice on the social, cultural, and physical effects of chronic illness. As a chronically ill, disabled, neurodivergent, and gender-divergent first generation American from a family of Vietnamese refugees, they explore Western bio-politics and epigenetics, Southeast Asian diaspora, post-war intergenerational suffering, relational ecologies of interdependence, and the concept of metamorphosis.
thái’s body is under immense stress as they continue to experience chronic infections, severe allergic reactions, and persistent fevers while facing unsustainable ongoing medical costs. They currently need to raise funds for medical bandages, new immune treatments and medications that are critical to their survival, and to maintain access to their healthcare.
