Join us on Wednesday, April 17th from 6-8pm for a Trans Creative Storytelling Workshop with Jesse Freidin. How can we tell trans stories as a method of liberation? What forms of creative expression can we use to free up our joy and collective strength? Participants will be led through a variety of creative exercises for self-empowerment. Whatever their preferred medium (photos, writing, recipes, song, dance, etc.) Participants will find encouragement to speak their truths and feel the relief that comes from using their authentic voices. Everyone will receive guidance in mapping out their personal story as well as feedback from the group and lively participation. Join us for community, and leave with a jumping off point for self expression. As a man of trans experience and archivist of trans narratives through his ‘Are You OK?’ project, Jesse creates a brave and engaging virtual space for participants to think about how and why our trans lives matter. https://lnkd.in/e9_XdySN
