Join us and our friends at Shades of Honey for an evening of music, food, writing, and sharing. This is Shades of Honey’s first ever poetry workshop, hosted by Aerik Francis. The theme for the workshop is Human//Body: On Body Politics & Body Poetics. All ages are welcome to join!
Aerik Francis will lead us through a body poetics workshop that gets us more in tune with our body, its needs, its politics, and the ways in which we as a community and individuals can be better accountable not only for others ’ bodies but to our own.
Tickets are ‘pay what you can,’ and are available for purchased through Eventbrite by clicking the button below. If you are BIPOC and cannot for whatever reason spend the funds but still want to be in community, reach out to Shades of Honey via Instagram and they will make room for you - no questions asked. If you are a non-BIPOC person who wants to sponsor a ticket for someone, we welcome your kindness. <3
About Shades of Honey
Shades of Honey was born in 2019 by Don B. Wilson and Karia White, after noticing the lack of space for Black and Brown people in general, but more specifically centered around artistry. Art allows us to be critical dialogue with the institutions, societal norms, and perceptions that we face and should be used as a gateway to understanding, compassion and radical humanism.
Shades of Honey has been a healing space for the Black, Brown and Indigenous community and a space for allies to learn through the power of narrative and art. “Shades,” as it is affectively dubbed by members of the community, is intent on centering BIPOC voices in film, spoken word, visual art, dance, song, and the other myriad of ways the community shows up in an artistic facet. Shades of Honey continues to grow, and the community continues to heal. Shades and its leaders are committed to creating space and radically transforming our communities.
