WORKSHOP „Turning Poison Into Medicine“

Theatre artist and activist Nicole Pearson invites you to a collaborative experience inspired by her latest play “hand, breast, heart”. Often conversations around colonialism and decolonization are so abstract we overlook what we are discussing. They become competing narratives locked in a power struggle over who will win.

We can engage in these conversations differently. We can explore how we carry and embody the harms we seek to address. In two workshop days, we will explore inherited legacies, get familiar with the hierarchies we embody, and how these two forces shape us. We will map the terrain of our power and vulnerabilities. We will learn how our presence impacts the spaces we live in and the people we encounter. We will weave our experiences together into one story. We will explore how we embody patriarchal white supremacist hierarchy. We use whatever discomfort being in proximity brings up as a tool to see and care for ourselves and one another. The workshop is open to all!
