KinFolkz: Queer Healing Arts for LGBTQ Community and Allies

The Queer Body

Join us as Kinfolxz in living time, models how to create community-based healing at the Queer Healing Arts Center in Oakland, CA. " Because self-care is a collective effort: we are not intended to be alone." She helps us see that one of the ways we can create this is by asking the right questions of the communities we serve. such as " What is it you Deserve?, What do you need? What are your dreams/ Visions?" It is through the answers to these questions and partnering with other members of the community that the center has created an interdisciplinary approach that helps the LGBTQ community at risk develop skills to be employable through coding, help achieve safe housing, create food justice, and support other realms of healing and art. Creating a living community that answers the question of how we can show up with compassion and be responsible to our community through giving and receiving. Both are integral to the healing of all creatures. Lastly Kinfloxz invites us to practice decolonizing our language by using the term dark and black in positive ways and not negative ways for ourselves and future generations.
