Start: Thursday, April 23, 2020 7:30 PM

Original Art by @tiahuits and Original Cover Design by @matti.martini

As we are currently facing pandemics, sacred land desecration by Big Oil & crises of climate, we must listen to the lessons of our most ancient grand(earth)mother & her sacred melanated, queer, Black, Indigenous, & femme children. The stories & wisdom we pass on are taught to us intimately through our existence as Her children of different Indigenous nations, cultures, genders, & skin tones. Our art & stories connect us to each other by connecting us to Her & the elements. It is our responsibility to tell Herstory & to protect Her. In doing so, we have to ensure the survival & revitalization of Indigenous lands, knowledges, languages, cultures & peoples everywhere.⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
On Wednesday, April 22, the 50th Anniversary of Earth Day, AND Thursday, April 23, join Black & Indigenous creatives, storytellers, artivists & community organizers as they share their art, music, stories, & wisdom that encompasses a better world which dismantles a system that never truly served us or our home.⁣⁣ ? ? ?⁣⁣
